USAID

       During the time when Somalia was hit by the great famine a lot of countries came to their rescue including the United States. A lot of people went hungry at that time that led to the spread of diseases across the whole country. Being one of the generous countries, the US started sending  ship loads of medicines to the hunger-stricken country.

       The Somalia government was very appreciative of the US humanitarian gesture but after a lot of auditing and sorting of the medicines, they decided to send them all back to US. They found the medicines useless to them.

       The reason:   Most of the medicines are bearing the warning: " TO BE TAKEN ONLY AFTER MEAL"
