International News Ireland Pledges €8.51 Million Aid for Hunger in AfricaMay 10, 2007 Ireland's agriculture and food ministry announced today the government is donating €8.51 million ($11.52 million US) to the UN World Food Program for relief efforts in Africa and elsewhere. Drought conditions have created a crisis in the Horn of Africa, the ministry said, while HIV/AIDS and rampant poverty threaten food security. "The funding will be used to bring food aid as a response to natural and manmade emergencies, to help bring people from crisis to recovery, and in support of logistics to speed up the delivery of aid," said Junior Minister Brendan Smith.
