BRUSSELS: The European Union will provide some €63 million ($74.39 million) in humanitarian funding for Somalia, it said on Thursday. The country has been hit by fighting between Somali armed forces and Al-Shabab militants, as well as by droughts.
The EU said its funding would prioritize life-saving health and nutrition services.
This latest aid package would mean it had provided more than €750 million in humanitarian aid to Somalia since 2017, added the EU.
The United Nations World Food Programme said earlier in February that its life-saving food and nutrition assistance in Somalia could end by April unless new funding was secured.
The EU did not specify when this aid would be provided.

Trump says he’s thinking of putting Republican Senator Ted Cruz on Supreme Court
- Trump, introducing Cruz at a rally in Corpus Christi, called the Texas Republican ‘an amazing guy’
CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas: President Donald Trump on Friday said he was considering nominating Republican Senator Ted Cruz for a future seat on the US Supreme Court, although Cruz last month said he was not interested.
Trump, introducing Cruz at a rally in Corpus Christi, called the Texas Republican “an amazing guy,” joking that he would easily win confirmation from Democrats and Republicans in Congress alike because they wanted to get him out of the Senate.
“He’s the only guy I know, he’ll get 100 percent of the Democrat vote, 100 percent of the Republican vote. They want to get him out of there. He is such a pain in the ass, but he’s so good and so talented.”
