International organizations, such as the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA, have also expressed their displeasure at the move.

On October 15, Dahabshiil Group held an event in which they announced the donation.
