The UN distributed a one month supply of food to 6,000 people who fled their homes due to recent fighting between Islamic groups and the Ethiopian-backed transitional government. The widespread conflict in Southern Somalia has made it difficult to deliver aid to those displaced. Kenya has closed its borders to new asylum-seekers from Somalia, but has allowed some UN food trucks to cross into Somalia from the Kenyan border. The UN High Commissioner for Refugees is investigating reports of new internal displacements and an influx of Somali refugees into Ethiopia.
