Djibouti’s Response: Djibouti says it is monitoring the Bab el-Mandab situation closely, reaffirming freedom of navigation and calling for a political solution, as it mobilizes navy, army, police and health services with UN partners. Food Security Move: Djibouti also took over management of a strategic Humanitarian Logistics Base from WFP, aiming to strengthen national food security and emergency preparedness for the Horn of Africa.
