Several young men in Salalah, with the blessings of Oman Charitable Organization are collecting donations in Salalah today to support victims of the current famine in Somalia. They are accepting blankets, sheets, neat folded (clean) clothes, tinned long life food (example: baby milk) and money. In the spirit of Ramadhan, donate what you can and encourage others to do the same.
.According to the UN, more than six out of every 10,000 people are dying of hunger every day in some parts of the Bakool and Lower Shabelle regions of Somalia. While there have been numerous disasters in the Horn of Africa over the past decade, it is the first time a famine has been declared in the region since 1992, when hundreds of thousands of Somalis starved to death, prompting an international peacekeeping intervention. Nearly half the population requires food aid.
