Somali government Flood response Committee has handed over two hundred and fifty thousand dollar to Jubbaland state on Friday.
The fund will be used to support the humanitarian emergency in Jubbaland after River Jubba broke its banks in several towns in Gedo and Lower Jubba regions,
Somali minister for Interior Abdi Mohamed Sabriye who was leading a delegation has handed over the amount to Jubbaland second Deputy Minister, Abdiqadir Mohamud Lughadere.
The minister said the government donated $250,000 to Jubbaland State to deal with the humanitarian crisis.
“We came here for two reasons, the first one is to carry out assessment and discuss with Jubbaland on the situation, the second one is to hand over the amount to the administration of Jubbaland,” said Sabriye.
The administration of Jubbaland has commended the move saying they appreciate the efforts of the Flood Response Unit to help the victims affected by the floods.
The handing over was also attended by Somalia’s civil aviation minister, Mohamed Abdullahi Salad and officials from Jubbaland state.
