Gedo — The elders and scholars in Gedo region have condemned the aid agencies on Friday for not helping the people in the region, a day after WFP said it suspended giving aid food to the Somali regions for the next two months.
Abdulle Hassan Mohamed, one of the scholars of Gedo region in southern Somalia accused the aid agencies for how they provide aid food to the feeble people that affected the droughts in the region.
He told Shabelle radio that there are more people who displaced from Mogadishu clashes and more others who were not helped well by the agencies as the people in the region are very week for lack of sufficient food.
The statement of the scholars and elders in the Gedo region comes as the UN food program WFP said on Thursday that it will suspend its food providing in south and central Somalia in the next two months for reasons of giving chance to the Somali farmers to produce their crops.
