US aid freeze paralyzes NGOs working to help millions of internally displaced people in Somalia

The U.S. Aid freeze has left tens of thousands of internally displaced people in Somalia uncertain about food and medical access, following President Donald Trump's executive order to halt most foreign aid for 90 days.
Somalia, which relies heavily on foreign aid, has 3 million people displaced by armed conflict, according to the UN refugee agency.

Dr. Abdiqani Sheikh Omar stated that the abrupt aid freeze has destabilized programs and left a void in essential support for those in need.
