Oxfam is offended by the 'F' word - Famine.
More than 28 million people across Ethiopia, Somalia, Kenya and South Sudan are fighting for their lives. It’s the worst hunger crisis in living memory.
FAMINE = FAILURE
The crisis in East Africa has been caused by a deadly combination of climate change, conflict and the crippling cost of living. There has already been a huge loss of life, with millions of people now at risk of famine.
World leaders have failed to do enough to prevent this devastating crisis – despite making commitments to end global hunger. It is still possible to avert widespread famine if we act now.
