Message from One: “You may have seen the pictures of starving people in the Horn of Africa on your TV screens. We are all asking: how can this be happening again? Parts of Somalia, Kenya and Ethiopia are facing one of the worst droughts for 60 years, and around 10 million people are desperately in need of food, clean water and basic sanitation. Despite the urgency of the situation, most world leaders are responding too slowly. Immediate aid is essential. Yet at the same time we must not let them drop the ball on long term solutions as has too often happened in the past.”
A useful emphasis on “long-term solutions”, not just disaster relief – so please sign the One petition at http://act.one.org/sign/horn_of_africa/?referring_akid=.1691572.xf02x4&source=taf
