Operation Provide Relief
Operation Provide Relief was part of a United Nation (UN) endorsed effort called The Unified Task Force (UNITAF) to secure and facilitate humanitarian relief for the people of Somalia, an effort that was assisted by the UN UNOSOM I mission beginning in 1991 in light of a severe famine, initiated and exacerbated by the ongoing Somali civil war. It was initiated and spearheaded by the United States of America and other Western nations that committed troops to conduct the operation.
