(July 27, 2011) - The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah Bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud has ordered a donation of 50 Million USD to the Somali refugees to be used in providing them with food supplies and that in cooperation with the World Food Program designated to this purpose. Another 10 Million USD will also be donated to provide the famine stricken refugees with the necessary medications and vaccinations and that in cooperation with the World Health Organization.

Bittersweet...I'm more than happy for the refugees, but at the same time disappointed we gotta rely on others to help us since we can't help ourselves. I look forward to a day where we're the ones making $50 million donations.

Somali community in the diasparo collected millions of dollars too. I hope the money reaches the poor ppl and not on the pockets of NGO staff and Warlords.

South Korea went from being an aid receiving nation to an aid giving nation, something that they are very proud of and always advertise. Inshallah we will follow that example.

Great news,....that is until that WFP/WHO bit was mentioned

. United nations has already secured 100's of millions of dollars . Doesnt make them any more willing or able to help the neediest of needy in this famine, namely those IDP's still in somalia. Also, If the Saudi's, or any country for that matter were serious, or really gave two shits, they'd donated back in November 2010, before the "famine" began, to things like building of more wells. Generous.

lool you think these countries who want to help will trust sheikh shariif with the money

i dont think so, so thats not my worry but iam worried about the aid agencies i.e the un, unicef stealing the money for their personal use
