The United Nations needs $4.4 billion by the end of March to prevent catastrophic hunger and famine in South Sudan, Nigeria, Somalia and Yemen, yet just $90 million has been collected so far, Secretary-General António Guterres said Wednesday.
With over 20 million people at risk of starvation over the next six months and famine already declared in parts of South Sudan, “we are facing a tragedy,” Guterres said.
“We must avoid it becoming a catastrophe.”
Convening reporters for a briefing at the U.N. headquarters, Guterres amplified concerns that U.N. officials and humanitarian groups have expressed in recent weeks about the lack of food in the four nations.

And just why, pray tell, are these people hungry?
“If they would stop killing each other they might be able to eat.”
There could possibly be a flaw in that logic. Maybe is should read: “Let them kill each other off and no one has to feed them”.
Time to stop throwing money down that particular rat hole. If anyone asks, tell them this old Polish saying: Not my circus. Not my monkey.
$$$$$$$$$$ ONLY for Christians!
Those muslims can drink oil.
Let Soros write another check.
All a ruse to get their hands on our money. After three months of partying paid for by the taxpayers of America they will come begging for more.
Boo hoo hoo. These are dysfunctional countries which prey on other countries and murder non-Muzzlimes in their midst. None of them have responsible governments who keep their Muzzlimes in line. Seems like a good way to get rid of some nasty Muzzlimes. Not a dime of U.S. money. We’ve thrown enough dough down that sucker hole, and accomplished nothing.
Maybe the rich delegates at the loser un should donate 1/2 of their bloated salaries. Maybe they should eat less in their free restaurants and cafeteria. Maybe they should all tell their despotic governments to give the money.
Those places all sound muslimy
So, the UN is going to make them eat money?
The UN is about as big of a scam as Climate Change.
If you feed them they just reproduce.”””
AMEN I have no more sympathy for the tribes of people who keep having babies they cannot feed-—& then expecting to guilt everyone else into feeding them.
Yemen has enough $$$$ to buy weapons to attack American Ships in the Gulf-—Let them feed their own people first.
Things are tough all over.......GO FISH!
Nope. Not gonna happen
Go beg from the mussies
If the UN gives the food, the terrorists will get all of it. The people will still starve.
The UN should get busy taking out the terrorists. Their caviar money is at stake.
So I guess already didn’t work with condoms? Less people, more food
All the freebies have done is enrich the elite and break the farmers and businessmen so they never recover.
Save your breath.
A quick review of the posts on this thread will show that funny looking people from unknown places don't deserve any sympathy.
Faith doesn't enter into it.
