From the New York Times, I'm Rachel Abrams, and this is the Daily.

The war in Iran has had some visible consequences like skyrocketing energy costs and higher gas prices.

The effects of this war are often far less obvious and much more serious for the world's

most vulnerable people.

Today, my colleague Peter Goodman tells us about what he learned on a recent trip to Somalia

and why the system of global aid is no longer in a position to help.

It's Wednesday, June 10th.

Peter Goodman, welcome back to The Daily.

Thanks for having me.

So, Peter, we're now 101 days into the war with Iran, and we have talked a lot on the show about its effect on gas prices.

But you cover global supply chains, which means that you've gone all over the world,

you've reported on how something gets from point A to point B, and you have focused a lot on all the people who

are affected in between. So for that reason, we wanted to ask you for your take on how the war

has disrupted things all over the world in less visible ways.

Well, first of all, the price of energy goes so far beyond putting gas in your car, right?

I mean, we've seen cooking fuel get scarce in India, in South America.

We've seen the Philippines limit the hours that people can work in office buildings to limit the cost of air

conditioning. We've seen helium, which is used by computer chip factories from Taiwan, get

expensive and hard to secure. The ripple effects of this are almost infinite.

Reminds me of the butterfly effect, a butterfly flaps its wings in one place, and you see a tidal wave

at another.

Right.
