Bossasso serves the Somali peninsular but lacks the ability to handle large ships, thus hindering the ability of the WFP when sending in food and other aid to the region.
“One of the items in the agreement we signed with WFP include the expansion of Bossasso port so that big vessels can dock without any problem,” said Puntland Information Minister Abdihakin Ahmed Guled after the signing.
He announced that WFP has also been given the right to establish warehouses in Bossasso to further assist with the distribution of aid parcels.
