UNICEF USA joins Royal delegation to UNICEF emergency center

By UNICEF USA - 1 November, 2011.

East Africa Emergency
 Somali children malnourished

Abstract : Deals with the humanitarian crisis in East Africa and the death of childs.

Extract : "U.S. Fund for UNICEF President and CEO, Caryl Stern, joined the Royal delegation, packing a shipment of emergency medical supplies and continuing on to Kenya to help facilitate distribution to families who have fled famine in Somalia. Millions of children across Somalia and the Horn of Africa are suffering a deadly combination of high food prices, armed conflict and crop failure. The result: children too weak to fight diseases, unprotected from threats they could normally bear. The massive international response to the situation in the Horn of Africa has already saved lives, but hundreds of children continue to die every day."
