We are proud to participate in this truly ingenious idea by the Italian Government. It is wonderful to have some of the world's top film directors dedicating their time and talent to put the spotlight on the problems, including hunger, facing the world's poor children. |
We are still far short of the food required to meet the needs of the millions of people at risk due to the drought. |
We cannot put families who have lost their homes and loved ones to violence on a 1,000 calorie a day diet. But we have been pushed into this last resort of ration cuts in Sudan so we can provide the needy with at least some food during the lean season. |
We committed to the president and the Burundian people our unconditional support. |
We could eliminate hunger among children in Africa for $5 billion. |
We have clearly heard their message: Don't abandon us at this crucial time and risk a return to the bloody nightmare that we lived through for so many years. |
We have never had a crisis where the use of helicopters was so critical. |
We have put financial systems in place to help ensure people do not starve if donations are not immediately forthcoming. But these internal loans cannot be repeated if the international community does not step in to replenish funds. |
We intend to wind down our humanitarian work in North Korea by the end of November, |
We liked the flexibility that Par3 offered. |
We need a variety of approaches to address hunger. The Ethiopian drought insurance project is an innovative way of approaching risk management in a very challenging setting. |
We need six, seven, eight times as much help as we have already had for the next 12 months. If there's a break in the pipeline, the shock and the lack of water for those millions of people who are now seriously at risk will mean we will start to see large numbers of casualties very, very quickly. |
We need substantial help. The helicopters are critical, given the weather, the rugged terrain and our need to pre-position a huge amount of food in places throughout the affected area. |
We really have had a good group of parents, also. |
We still have needs of $63 million to buy some additional food to complete our work to June. |
