The United States has paused all ongoing aid programs benefiting Somalia's federal government, citing allegations of theft and diversion of life-saving assistance. Somalia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs disputes these claims, stating the aid remained in World Food Programme (WFP) custody despite the demolition of a warehouse. The WFP confirmed the warehouse held vital nutritional commodities for malnourished individuals and is working with authorities to address the situation, noting a handover of some commodities occurred. The US stated resumption of aid depends on accountability and remedial steps from Somalia.
