Horn of Africa: 20 million children suffering as drought intensifies

The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) says the number of children suffering dire drought conditions across Ethiopia, Kenya and Somalia has more than doubled in five months. According to a UNICEF statement Thursday, around 20.2 million children are now facing the threat of severe hunger, thirst and disease, compared to 10 million in July, as climate change, conflict, global inflation and grain shortages devastate the region.

Mozambique Crisis

Despite a temporary improved security environment, the humanitarian crisis in Mozambique's northern province of Cabo Delgado continues to force people to flee their homes. Violence by non-state armed groups (NSAGs) has displaced nearly one million people. 3.1 million children, women, and men in Mozambique will require humanitarian aid in 2025, including some 1.3 million in Cabo Delgado and neighboring Niassa and Nampula provinces, and about 1.8 million across the country due to severe drought. Mozambique is highly susceptible to climate shocks and frequent natural hazards such as drought, floods and tropical storms.

CERF - Central Emergency Response Fund

Why I donate to CERF

UN Secretary-General AntĂłnio Guterres has described the UN Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) as "a United Nations success story." I couldn't agree more. Since its creation seventeen years ago, the Fund has proven to be one of the fastest and most effective ways to finance global humanitarian action. It would be very welcome if more people were aware of the Fund and would donate to CERF. The Emergency Response Fund finances humanitarian aid that goes where it is needed most urgently.

UN: Large-scale human suffering in forgotten crises must be reported

The United Nation High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Türk, has called on journalists to ensure that large-scale human suffering in forgotten crises around the world does not go unreported and that “the demands of the people are amplified so that those with the power, influence and the funds hear it to make a difference.” The comments came on the eve of today’s Human Rights Day, as Mr. Türk launched a yearlong campaign to mark the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights 75 years ago.
