Somalia has 1.2 million people at risk from the drought, and the U.S. government is responding by providing $14.6 million in food aid.

These additional announcements bring total USAID non-food assistance to $22 million this fiscal year.

This is in addition to the $323.6 million in food aid the U.S. is sending to the Horn of Africa.
