UN aid chief blames US-Israel war on Iran for deepening Somalia's humanitarian crisis

Wednesday, 29 April 2026, 06:34 · 1 min read

UN relief coordinator Tom Fletcher, during a visit to Mogadishu (Somalia's capital), has condemned the ongoing US-Israeli conflict with Iran, arguing it is significantly worsening conditions for Somalis more than 3,000 kilometres away. Fletcher warned that the diversion of international aid resources toward the conflict has intensified food shortages and deteriorated health conditions across the country. His remarks highlight growing concern that geopolitical conflicts are starving already fragile humanitarian operations of critical funding.
