UNICEF sends humanitarian supplies to Baidoa

    ABIDJAN

    UNICEF sent a convoy of humanitarian aid and an assessment mission to Baidoa at the end of June in response to "early warnings" of a sixth consecutive harvest failure, SACB reported. The team had earlier received the green light to proceed from the Rahanweyn Resistance Army (RRA) which recaptured the RRA's heartland capital from Hussein Aideed's faction early last month. The distribution of the new supplies should benefit some
    11,500 people in Baidoa town.
