Humanitarian chief urges funds for Yemen, South Sudan, Somalia, northeast Nigeria
UNITED NATIONS—The world faces the largest humanitarian crisis since the United Nations was founded in 1945, with more than 20 million people in four countries facing starvation and famine, the U.N. humanitarian chief said Friday.
Stephen O’Brien told the U.N. Security Council that “without collective and coordinated global efforts, people will simply starve to death” and “many more will suffer and die from disease.”
He urged an immediate injection of funds for Yemen, South Sudan, Somalia and northeast Nigeria, plus safe and unimpeded access for humanitarian aid “to avert a catastrophe.”
“To be precise,” Mr. O’Brien said, “we need $4.4 billion by July.”
Without a major infusion of money, he said, children will be stunted by severe malnutrition and won’t be able to go to school, gains in economic development will be reversed and “livelihoods, futures and hope will be lost.”.....

Bill Gates and Warren Buffoon spend more than that on Planned Parenthood pens and sticky notes.
Who shives a git what the U.N. says?
A diet low in Bacon?
How does the UN propose to accomplish that? Send along a USMC Battalion Landing Team for food convoy escort?
French Foreign Legion?
British SAS?
Speznast?
Blackwater?
The "A" Team?
Rambo?
And how many millions of bushels of corn has been made into ethanol to satisfy the US Leftist radical environmentalists? The corn now demanded by the ‘green lobby’ to be turned into environmentally correct” fuel for cars, use to be sent around the world to feed starving people.
And hopefully the new administration will cancel the ethanol requirements for auto fuel and we again can feed the corn to people.
they must be required to first convert to Christianity and adopt capitalism
There’s no point in wasting more money on these countries
Let the muzzles help their own. They’ve got all that oil money.
Well, then, the UN had better jump right on that. Good luck! And, be sure to rape a few thousand of the aid recipients and steal most of the money.
Exactly, taking food to make fuel is so very wrong when people are starving in the world. Where are our ethics?
>and we again can feed the corn to people
Great idea...free food to ungrateful and dangerous people who breed beyond their carrying capacity and send their overflow to modern countries where they can turn them into 3rd world dungholes.
and ethanol produces fewer miles to the gallon in cars than gasoline does. Thus it is not an efficient fuel.
All the Refugees seem to be from Muslim countries. I wonder what they are seeking refuge from?
If they would find Christ and share love, all would change.
world was ok 01/19/2017 ?
at this point I really don’t give a damn about Yemen, South Sudan, Somalia, northeast Nigeria or especially the UNITED NATIONS,
honest.
Another UN shakedown.
