Thousands of Somalis battling famine and hunger have received food aid from a Turkish charity, the Hak Humanitarian Relief Association.
The Turkish humanitarian group distributed food to 50,000 people in five regions and 10 camps as part of assistance in the region, according to a statement by the group.
The Turkish charity stated that it also provided medical supplies to children who were treated at a hospital because of drought. Relief efforts continue in Baidoa, where residents most affected by famine and hunger migrated.
Fatuma from Somalia, who lost her 10-year-old son while migrating because of the famine, spurred the motivation for the aid mobilisation, Foreign Relations Coordinator of the Hak Humanitarian Relief Association, Imdat Avli, said.
