Deputy PM Salah Ahmed Jama hosted a UK delegation announcing GBP 6 million in additional humanitarian assistance for drought-affected Somalis.
In February 2026, Deputy Prime Minister Salah Ahmed Jama hosted UK official Baroness Chapman at a World Food Programme warehouse in Mogadishu, where the United Kingdom announced GBP 6 million in additional humanitarian assistance for Somalia.
The funding was targeted at the highest-need locations to deliver life-saving support to over 129,000 people impacted by the ongoing drought emergency.
The announcement reflected continued engagement between the Federal Government and international partners to mobilize resources for drought relief amid acute food insecurity and displacement.
