Wondering how to donate to Somalia & other nations impacted by the famine? 👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾
Famine has been declared in parts of South Sudan, while Somalia, Yemen and Nigeria are also at risk. Here’s a roundup of some of the main appeals.
South Sudan
The UN says roughly 40% of the population are in desperate need of humanitarian assistance and that people are already dying from hunger as a result of famine in parts of the country.

Aid agencies are warning that urgent action is needed to avert a repeat of the famine that killed 260,000 people in Somalia between 2010 and 2012.

Yemen
Half of the country’s population – more than 14 million people – are hungry and children are dying from malnutrition. The Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) is hosting a public appeal which has already raised £13m. The DEC unites the fundraising efforts of leading British agencies at times of major disasters overseas, to maximise income from the public.
