Following the suicide attack at the Shamow Hotel in Mogadishu on Thursday 3 December 2009, UNPOS and UNSOA set up a task force to assist in the medical evacuation of critically injured patients to provide medical care in Nairobi hospitals. Nineteen patients were evacuated to the Aga Khan hospital. Some days after their hospitalisation, the SRSG today paid a visit to the patients to assess their medical condition and offer them moral support.
