UN delivers aid to Somalia for first time in two years

The UN announced Sunday it has made its first delivery of aid to Somalia in over two years.  Somalia has been the worst-affected by the most severe drought to hit the Horn of Africa in decades.

The UN made their delivery Wednesday to the town of Baidoa, in central Somalia.  It was the first delivery of relief since 2009, when the Shebab rebels that control the area expelled foreign aid groups. The rebels suspected the groups of being spies or Christian missionaries.

UNICEF has called for increased aid to be brought to the area. The UN estimates 10 million people face starvation in the region.
