Vulnerable people in Somalia are caught up in the spiral of hardships caused by an intractable conflict, perennial drought and the global food crisis. Food distribution to residents of Danay, in the Galgadud region of Somalia, is part of the ICRC’s effort to help them cope with their plight. As the organization’s Patricia Danzi explains, "we are here to help people who have suffered during the conflict and want to get over that. And we are here to support them."
