Thousands of families displaced after troops destroy aid camps in Somalia

Thousands in Somalia have been left with no shelter on the outskirts of Mogadishu two weeks after troops destroyed their refuge, British daily The Guardian reported.
Security forces in the conflict-torn country destroyed 23 camps that housed more than 4,000 internally displaced Somalis on Dec. 30, 2017, the UN reported.
The UN office for the coordination of humanitarian affairs said there had been more than $200,000 damage, affecting health facilities, schools and water points.
Witnesses said police and military personnel who took part in the destruction of the camps attacked anyone who tried to resist or question them, according to The Guardian report.
Conflict, famine and drought displaced one million people throughout Somalia last year.
