A ship carrying 450 tonnes of humanitarian food supplies has arrived at the north-eastern port of Bosaso in Somalia.

The shipment is part of the UAE’s efforts to help alleviate the suffering of the Somali people.

The shipment included 11 varieties of basic food supplies.

At least two regions in Somalia are suffering from famine, and 11.3 million people in East Africa need aid, according to recent reports from the United Nations.

Somali officials expressed their thanks and appreciation to the UAE and commended the good relations the UAE shares with their country.
