Emergency Famine Appeal August 2011

ICROSS Emergency Famine Appeal August 2011

Worsening drought, spreading poverty and growing unrest have added to failure of rains in East Africa. This has led to worsening famine in much of East Africa. This famine is deteriorating. ICROSS has been fighting famine and poverty for thirty years in East Africa., Our first famine was in 1983-85.
But this is the worst drought in 60 years in many parts of Africa with more than 10 million people in Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, and the newly-formed Republic of South Sudan face starvation, desperately needing water and emergency healthcare.
The International Director Dr Michael Meegan said today “ Our project teams and health staff are committed in the long term to follow-up and ongoing primary care as well as this crisis. “ He added “ the rise of serious cases of malnutrition, diarrhoeal infections and deteriorating health of whole communities is an urgent concern for us all”.
Head of programmes Sarune OleLengeny said today “We were here through many dissaters and problems, we will continue serving the communities hit by these tragedies in the long term. All of us will be here God willing for the next thirty years” POleLasoi added “ ICROSS is made up of the local communities, we are the people affected, we live in the drought areas , in the middle of the increasing humanitarian crisis . We have been working here for decades. As always, we at ICROSS have been here long before the crisis started and still here long after the media leave.”
