Anchor: The increase in attacks on relief workers in Somalia has prompted relief agencies in the country to consider stopping their operations. Up to 19 workers have been killed in Somalia this year. The United Nations Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator for Somalia, Mark Bowden, has expressed concern about this situation. UN Radio's Derrick Mbatha spoke with him on the line from Nairobi Kenya about this problem.

Now, a quick look at some other stories from developing countries.
The World Bank has signed agreements with the Cambodian government to provide 30 million U.S. dollars of credit for the second phase of the Health Sector Support Program in the kingdom.
The program was approved by the World Bank in June. It aims to improve health care and preventive health services for the Cambodian people, with particular emphasis on women, children and the poor.
The program will also improve the quality of training of health professionals, strengthen health service delivery and support the government in its management of the country's health system. ************
India's Gujarat State Petroleum Corporation, or GSPC, has discovered a huge gas reserve of more than 600 billion cubic meters in the Krishna-Godavari Basin.
A GSPC team had slogged for three years in the middle of the sea digging over 6 kilometers deep to find the gas reserve.
The gas reserve is worth an estimated 100 million dollars.
