NAIROBI (AFP) - The International Committee of the Red Cross said on Sunday it had distributed 400 tonnes of food aid in rebel-controlled southern Somalia, which has been hit by a devastating drought.

"The ICRC on Saturday distributed 400 tonnes of food aid in Gedo province for 4,000 families or about 24,000 people," ICRC spokesman Yves Van Loo told AFP in Nairobi.
