NGOs seek $5 5 bn to rescue 34 mln people from famine in countries such as Yemen, South Sudan

GENEVA: More than 260 non-governmental organizations signed an open letter on Tuesday calling on governments to donate $5.5 billion to prevent famine in 2021 in countries that include Yemen and South Sudan. The sum has been called for by the United Nations’ World Food Programme and the Food and Agriculture Organization. “We call on you to provide the additional $5.5 billion needed for urgent food assistance to reach more than 34 million girls, boys, women and men around the globe who are a step away from famine. This assistance must begin immediately,” the open letter said. The letter was penned by NGOs working with an estimated 270 million people “facing hunger, starvation or famine all over the world.”

With 34 million people a step away from famine , governments are being urged to quickly scale up action

Share on Twitter More than 260 non-governmental organisations signed an open letter Tuesday urging governments to donate $5.5 billion USD ($7.1 billion AUD) to prevent famine from reaching 34 million people in 2021.  The sum was called for by the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) and Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) in March to swiftly scale up action to avert famine. The NGOs said donations so far this year had been a mere fraction of what was required to prevent situations from worsening in hunger hotspots around the world. We call on you to provide the additional $5.5 billion needed for urgent food assistance to reach more than 34 million girls, boys, women and men around the globe who are a step away from famine, the open letter said.
