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.
