Muslim Charity Working Tirelessly to End the Food Crisis in Somalia, East Africa

According to the World Food Programme; Somalia is one of the most dangerous places in the world, and the Horn of Africa country with probably the highest humanitarian needs – not least for food assistance. An estimated 2.8 million people are relying on external food assistance due to conflict, displacement and drought. An estimated 285,000 Somali children (or one in every five) are acutely malnourished, including 70,000 severely

malnourished.

Muslim Charity has set up a regional office in the Burao region of Somaliland and is working tirelessly on the ground and has taken the initiative to actively pursue the minimising and eventual end of the food crisis in Somalia and other East African countries.

In its efforts Muslim Charity has carried out the following crucial projects in addition to others:
