Background  

• Somalia has been without a government since 1991 when a civil war broke out. Most of the country is control by different warlords. Governments around the world have tried to help establish a government, however, it has been difficult. For this reason, the Somali people have been suffering for the past 15 years from the lack of security, food, and other harsh living conditions. Due to safety and security reasons, many Humanitarian Aid Agencies are leaving the country. Of all the Humanitarian Agencies that operate in Somalia, only few of them are equipped with the right tools for their risky relief work. For example, Agencies such as, International Committee of the Red Cross, USAID are some of the well known Agencies that have been working in Somalia since the civil war. Unfortunately, some of these Aid Agencies are not able to deliver the aid to the people who are in need. Overall, the country in general lacks the following things:

• Security

• Economics

• Infrastructure

• Communication

• Transportation
