Somalia's Presidential envoy to drought response, Abdirahman Abdishakur Warsame, made the call on Monday afternoon after paying a visit to the drought-stricken town of Bardhere in the Gedo region that hosts thousands of families who fled from surrounding areas in search of food and humanitarian assistance.
Warsame called on Somali people, international donors, as well as "Arab brothers" to come to the aid of the Somali people affected by the drought.
The Envoy, accompanied by the Qatari ambassador to Somalia and officials from a Qatar charity, visited the camps for internally displaced persons in the town and distributed food packages donated by the Qatari government.
Somalia is witnessing one of the worst climate change-related droughts in four decades that devastated the Horn of African country.
