First Ukrainian grain ship destined for desperate Horn of Africa reaches Djibouti

LA Times  

The cargo ship Brave Commander, carrying grain from Ukraine, prepares to dock in Djibouti, in the Horn of Africa, on Tuesday. The first ship carrying grain from Ukraine to people in the hungriest parts of the world has docked at the port of Djibouti in the Horn of Africa, an area badly affected by deadly drought and conflict. The WFP has said that the 23,400 tons of grain on the first ship are enough to feed 1.5 million people on full rations for a month. As of Sunday, 114 ships carrying more than 1.3 million tons of food commodities had left Ukraine, the WFP said, but “export volumes remain far below pre-conflict averages.”
