Somalia deploys medical teams and aid to frontlines in anti-Al-Shabaab offensive
The Somali Disaster Management Agency (SoDMA) has sent medical teams, emergency response vehicles, and essential medical supplies to the Hiiraan and Middle Shabelle regions to assist local defense forces engaged in military operations against Al-Shabaab.
This deployment, which includes doctors, medicines, and ambulances, aims to deliver crucial medical assistance to injured local fighters and security personnel during the ongoing offensive against the militant group. The medical teams will be based at Adale District Hospital in Middle Shabelle and will offer vital services in Moqokori, Aden Yabaal, Haji Ali, Gulane, Masjid Ali Gadud, and other areas impacted by counterterrorism efforts.
Dr. Abdullahi Muse Ahmed, the director of SoDMA’s Health Department, supervised the operation from Mogadishu, highlighting that the initiative is designed to reduce battlefield casualties among local forces. The agency has also extended medical and humanitarian aid to conflict-affected areas.
Earlier this week, SoDMA provided medical aid to Jalalaqsi in Hiiraan, ensuring the supply of essential medicine for injured fighters and civilians in urgent need of treatment. Alongside medical support, the agency has been distributing food aid to communities affected by the conflict in Middle Shabelle as part of its broader humanitarian efforts.
With the support of community defense militias known as Ma'awisleey, the Somali government has intensified its military campaign against Al-Shabaab in central and southern regions, aiming to dismantle the group's strongholds and restore national security.
