URGENT FOOD CRISIS IN AFRICA
Right now, more than 140 million people in Africa don't have enough to eat. Countless families are struggling to feed themselves and far too many children are particularly threatened by starvation. A perfect storm created by the combined impact of climate change, protracted conflicts and rising prices linked to the situation in Ukraine is hitting the most vulnerable people in Africa hardest.
Please give now.
"The situation is urgent, and the window of time left to act is narrowing. Without concerted and collaborative efforts, this risks becoming an irreversible humanitarian crisis with an unimaginable human cost."
Robert Mardini, Director-General of the ICRC.
What is the ICRC doing to help families in Africa?
The ICRC and our Red Cross and Red Crescent partners, have been helping people access the food they need to survive and build stable incomes for decades. We do this by providing food, cash and support to help people earn a sustainable livelihood.
We need your help to respond to the current crisis – to increase our food and cash support to the people most severely-affected.
