The International Red Cross (ICRC) has suspended food distribution to central Somalia's famine-stricken Middle Shabelle and Gal-gadud regions.<br /><br />The ICRC says al-Shabab fighters have blocked aid trucks from reaching the famine victims, but leaders linked to the group said they wanted to test the food to make sure it was safe.<br /><br />The Red Cross however says a four-week delay without explanation has led them to halt aid deliveries to both regions, a decision which has left over one million Somalis, still recovering from last year's famine, hungry.<br /><br />Al Jazeera's Emike Umolu reports.
