The World Food Programme has transported food aid to Somalia by road from Kenya, opting to take the land route after pirates earlier this year hijacked a WFP-chartered ship with food aid off the Somali coast. "It is 25-30% cheaper to bring our food aid in by sea and boats can carry much more, but we have had to resort to this land route because ship-owners feel it is too risky to sail to the south," WFP Somalia Country Director Zlatan Milisic said.
