There are approximately 200,000 internally displaced people currently living in more than 140 makeshift camps along this stretch of road that stretches for 15km west from Mogadishu. Aid agencies are struggling to deliver assistance to communities in desperate need because of an atmosphere of ever-increasing fear and insecurity.
