U.N. Agency Suspends Shipments to Somalia
The World Food Program suspended relief shipments to Somalia after pirates seized a ship carrying aid for tsunami victims, a U.N. spokesman said Tuesday. Somali gunmen boarded the ship on Monday and took the crew of 10 hostage. The ship was carrying about two months worth of food aid for the 28,000 tsunami victims in Somalia. The World Food Program will review the suspension, imposed Monday, after the release of the crew, ship and food aid, U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric said. The agency currently has about two weeks worth of food stocks in the country, WFP said in a separate statement.Posted by: Fred 2005-07-05 |
