In his visit, UN Chief Antonio Guterres on Tuesday appealed for "massive" international support for Somalia as it battles a desperate humanitarian crisis caused by drought and protracted armed conflict.
Guterres said at a joint press conference with Somalia’s President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud that he was on a ‘visit of solidarity’ to the troubled Horn of Africa nation, where five million people are facing high levels of food insecurity.
