In a Twitter post, Zelenskyy said that Ukraine will help the people who are dying of hunger and starvation as Somalia's drought situation has worsened due to 4 years of failed rainy seasons.

More than 7 million people, half of the population of the country are hit by the worst drought in 40 years.
