1 Million Somali IDPs are in risk of life threatening Diseases following WFP Food halt
Youth Organization for Relief and Development is warning the possibility of life threatening diseases against the 1 million Somali IDPs in southern Somalia following when the world food program halted the food distribution to the people for humanitarian security reason and the bribe that Islamist organization are demanding from the agency.
Among the affected IDPs were mainly children, pregnant women and elderly people and if they don’t receive the food that was halted two days ago by WFP they must now be vulnerable to the life threatening diseases as there is no alternative food source.
Between the IDPS and the life threatening diseases there is nothing and the gap has to be filled urgently.
To avoid possible humanitarian crisis YORD is calling on all the Somali civil society organization, traditional leaders and elders of the southern Somalia and in Generally Somalia to intervene and create a peaceful environment that humanitarian organization could deliver the service the needy Somali people deserves until the IPDs will get peace and go back to their homes.
YORD urges the different parts struggling the leadership of Somalia to respect the humanitarian agencies and their staff in the country, in order the Somali needy people get the humanitarian aid.
Only last 18 months four humanitarian workers were killed, then the question is how the humanitarian agencies can delivery the humanitarian aid mainly food and medicine if we don’t create peaceful environment for humanitarian WORKERS.
This is the interest of the needy Somali IPDs only.
Thanks
