Muslim Aid distributed food aid to 4000 families affected by the current conflicts in the Somali capital Mogadishu. the city has been a battle ground since the beginning of the year and that had forced thousandsof civilians to move to nearby suburbs with very little to survive on specially in the long run.
Muslim Aid and other international humanitarian agencies have been trying hard to help the IDPs but we see that the vast need is more often overwhelming whaever aid is coordinated.
Muslim Aid has also consilidated the free health services in Medina district, that is a southwest district of the city where due to relative stability attracted thousands of civilians mainly women and children who are in all aspects the most valnourable groups of the conflict.
Muslim Aid has also completed plans for two more health facilities in between Mogadishu and Afgoi to provide health services to hundreds of mothers and children as they are our first priority in this context.
Muslim Aid has also a very large stock of water purification tabs in Mogadishu ready for dispatch just incase of waterborne diseases outbreak.
