West Africa: Slow motion famine

Written by Super User 28 Jun 2010

‘Warnings of an impending food crisis in Niger sounded by the UN and other aid agencies late last year met with little response from the international donor community. Contributions are starting to trickle in at the UN, but by the time enough aid gets through it will have come too late for many - most of them babies and young children.’ said UN Humanitarian Affairs chief, Jan Egeland.

Pray: for an incredibly effective response to the cry for relief and aid that is needed right now. (Job 5:10-11)
