UN Agency Appeals to Private Donors for Help in Hunger Crisis in Africa
November 22, 2002 This article is part of TheBody.com's archive. Because it contains information that may no longer be accurate, this article should only be considered a historical document. For the first time, the UN World Food Program is appealing
to private citizens and organizations for donations to fight
hunger in Africa. Some 38 million Africans risk starvation, a
situation the Rome-based agency blames on shifting climate
conditions, the AIDS epidemic, and, in some countries, political
instability and failed economic policies. The UNWFP, which in the
past last largely relied on government donations, will launch an
appeal campaign aimed at non-governmental groups on Dec. 16.
