Somalia faces longest drought in history as WFP aids 3.5 million people

[Deeq A.]

Mogadishu (HOL) - Somalia is on the brink of experiencing the longest drought in its history, following five consecutive failed rainy seasons. The World Food Programme (WFP) provided life-saving humanitarian food assistance to 3.5 million people in the country in March 2023. However, due to predicted shortfalls in resource availability, the WFP plans to scale down and prioritize its humanitarian food assistance coverage starting in April.
