Freight costs 10 times more by air compared to sea. But air was the only option while UNICEF worked in Aug - Sep to establish a sea corridor. In October, a food transit hub will be set-up in Dubai as a collection point for supplementary food from India and Belgium, which will then be shipped by sea to Mogadishu. The food transit hub will help improve the speed and efficiency of getting 5,000 MT of required supplementary food into southern Somalia every month for as long as there is a need. 2,099 MT
