AMISOM donates food items to 100 families in Dhobley

Dhobley, 3 January 2020 – Kenyan troops serving under the African Union Mission
Somalia (AMISOM) have distributed foodstuffs to address the nutritional needs of
vulnerable communities living in Dhobley town, southern Somalia.

The distribution carried out by the contingent as a civil-military cooperation initiative,

benefited at least 100 families and aimed to foster good relations with residents of
Dhobley.

Dhobley, located in Jubbaland State of Somalia, lies within an area of responsibility

under the Kenya Defence Forces serving under AMISOM.
Col. Hassan Chala, the Deputy Sector Two Commander, who handed over the relief
items on Thursday, explained that donation was a gesture in support of internally
displaced people and refugee returnees. Also, the assistance comes after recent
heavy rains that caused flash floods in the region.

He explained that AMISOM has, in the past, conducted free medical camps for the
community, and pledged to continue the support.

“We have been able to donate foodstuffs to about one hundred people. The support
comes after recent heavy rains that caused flooding and displaced people who are
now hungry and need food,” he noted.

The Dhobley town Deputy Administrator in charge of community service, Mukhtar

Ahmed Sahal, hailed the AMISOM Kenyan contingent for the assistance to the
community.

“AMISOM's support to the vulnerable population in 2019 was enormous. They are
our brothers with whom we live in Dhobley and we thank them for their timely
support,” said Mukhtar.

Maryan Muhumed Ibrahim, who received rice and cooking oil, said the AMISOM
donation was timely, and the community requires further assistance.

“We treasure the support they give us; which is always timely. We are happy for the
support and hope they will continue because the need of the population is big,” she
added.
