More than 260 non-governmental organisations signed an open letter Tuesday urging governments to donate $5.5 billion USD ($7.1 billion AUD) to prevent famine from reaching 34 million people in 2021.
The sum was called for by the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) and Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) in March to swiftly scale up action to avert famine.
The NGOs said donations so far this year had been a mere fraction of what was required to prevent situations from worsening in hunger hotspots around the world. We call on you to provide the additional $5.5 billion needed for urgent food assistance to reach more than 34 million girls, boys, women and men around the globe who are a step away from famine, the open letter said.
