Book excerpt: According to estimates by the United Nations, more than 28 million people in east Africa need immediate food aid. Three countries in the region have emergency level food aid needs-Somalia, South Sudan, and Sudan. Meanwhile, areas of Ethiopia, Kenya, and Uganda also face crisis level hunger with some households already in emergency conditions. In Somalia, at least 6.2 million people, more half that country's population, need food assistance. In South Sudan, nearly two-thirds of the population requires assistance, and 4.9 million people, about 40 percent of the population, face severe life-threatening hunger. In Sudan more than 5.8 million Sudanese are believed to require assistance, 3.3 million of them in still-embattled Darfur states. The devastating impact of the current famine isn't confined to the hardest hit drought areas. Uganda itself, struggling with the effects of drought in some areas, has had to contend with nearly 800,000 refugees from South Sudan. In 2011, the first U.N.-declared famine since the 1980s occurred in east Africa, affecting more than 10 million people. Six years ago, there was great attention given to that famine. The current famine, despite reaching crisis levels, has not garnered the attention that it deserves.

Book Synopsis The Face of Hunger by : Byron Conner M. D.

Download or read book The Face of Hunger written by Byron Conner M. D.. This book was released on 2018-07-19. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A compelling presentation of a devastating humanitarian crisis on television propelled Dr. Conner and his wife and two children on a missionary trip to Ethiopia. The crisis was a famine in Ethiopia which threatened the lives of many thousands of Ethiopian citizens. It has been estimated that four hundred thousand to five hundred thousand perished due to the famine in 1983-1985, and millions were made destitute. A robust international response was mounted to assist the people of Ethiopia, and many relief and humanitarian organizations responded with food, clothing, blankets, and medication; along with logistical and medical teams to respond to the crisis. For Dr. Conner and his wife, the service in Ethiopia (1984-1987) was the beginning of a new way of life of community outreach and ministry. Despite leaving the mission field after the period of service, they considered themselves as missionaries but to their own country of America. This book is a presentation of the service abroad and the aftermath.

Download or read book Famine in Somalia written by Daniel G. Maxwell. This book was released on 2016. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some 250,000 people died in the southern Somalia famine of 2011-12, which also displaced and destroyed the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands more. Yet this crisis had been predicted nearly a year earlier. The harshest drought in Somalia's recent history coincided with a global spike in food prices, hitting this arid, import-dependent country hard. The policies of Al-Shabaab, a militant Islamist group that controlled southern Somalia, exacerbated an already difficult situation, barring most humanitarian assistance, while donors counter-terrorism policies led to cuts and criminalized any aid falling into their hands. A major disaster resulted from the production and market failures precipitated by the drought and food price crisis, while the famine itself was the result of the failure to quickly respond to these events-and was thus largely human-made. This book analyses the famine: the trade-offs between competing policy priorities that led to it, the collective failure in response, and how those affected by it attempted to protect themselves and their livelihoods.It also examines the humanitarian response, including actors that had not previously been particularly visible in Somalia-from Turkey, the Middle East, and Islamic charities worldwide.
