UN says Somalia needs more help
Addis Ababa, December 4, 2007 (Addis Ababa) - The international response to the crisis in Somalia has been inadequate, the UN's Humanitarian Affairs Chief, John Holmes said.

The World Food Programme (WFP) says it feeds 21,000 people a day in Mogadishu but it has plans to bring that number up to 50,000, BBC Reported.

Holmes visited several camps for people displaced from Mogadishu.

He also met with Somalia's new Prime Minister Nur Hassan Hussein in Baidoa, where the interim government of President Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed is based.

It was to be recalled that the Ethiopian government on Monday called on the international community to swiftly discharge its responsibility in the efforts launched to bring about durable peace in Somalia.
