Fifteen Groups to Discuss Coordinated Africa Hunger/AIDS Response

From U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

December 3, 2002

Fifteen U.S. humanitarian groups are meeting Tuesday with a UN envoy to discuss how to help millions of Africans plagued by famine and AIDS. The relief groups, which include the American Red Cross, Save the Children and Catholic Relief Services, say more than 34 million people in Africa face death by starvation in the next six to eight months. James Morris, the UN Special Envoy for southern Africa, will meet with the relief group representatives before addressing the UN Security Council about the world's food crisis later in the day.
