Combating the threat of famine Mustapha Temidayo By Daniel Ighakpe SIR: The World Food Programme (WFP), an agency of the United Nations (UN) recently stated that 584,000 people were experiencing famine-like conditions in Ethiopia, Madagascar, South Sudan and Yemen. Nigeria and Burkina Faso were also mentioned to be of particular concern. What can help to curtail this threat of famine? David Beasley, the Executive Director of the United Nations’ World Food Programme, emphasized the urgent need for financial support. He said that the price tag to reach those 41 million people who are literally knocking on famine’s door is about $6 billion. “We need funding and we need it now,” he said.
