This situation has been exacerbated by recent low rainfall which has sharpened drought conditions in the entire region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Human Appeal\u2019s mission is to be there for every human being, helping to alleviate poverty and suffering. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is dramatically escalating its aid efforts to the region, where media reports that a human is dying of hunger every 48 seconds. The area has 18 million people immediately facing the threats of starvation or malnutrition according to the UN OCHA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The NGO will shortly dispatch a team to the region to conduct an urgent humanitarian emergency assessment, allowing the organisation to coordinate and target immediate relief efforts through effective distribution of food parcels and malnutrition packs within each country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Human Appeal has been actively involved in East Africa since its inception some 30 years ago. In Somalia, its work has focused on supporting people with food parcels and medical aid, as well aslonger term projects promoting sustainable livelihoods for farmers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Raya Homsi, Institutional Funding Manager of Human Appeal, comments, \u201cThe situation in these countries has been incredibly difficult for some time, but the ongoing lack of rainfall alongside the worldwide grain shortage have combined to make circumstances in the region reach an acute humanitarian crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt is imperative that assistance reaches these countries swiftly to stop this widespread malnutrition and hunger which is killing people at an alarming rate. We must act swiftly, or this could become one of the greatest humanitarian aid tragedies in recent times.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more information or to support Human Appeal\u2019s efforts, please go to <a href=\"https:\/\/humanappeal.org.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">www.humanappeal.org.uk<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Catastrophic famine conditions leading to one death every 48 seconds in Somalia and Kenya Human Appeal, has launched an emergency appeal for aid to fight famine conditions currently affecting the Horn of Africa.
