After the worst drought in 40 years, millions of people across East Africa are facing the threat of famine and dying. Conflict, climate crisis and COVID are turning a tough situation into a dire crisis.
People are taking desperate measures to survive in the face of extreme hunger.
The UK Government promised to ‘spare no effort’ to protect the most vulnerable. But so far, they’ve taken little action. Money to respond should have already arrived, but not enough money has been promised - and much of it has been slow to arrive.
Sign our petition to send a clear message to the Prime Minister that we are #HungryForAction.
Urgent action is needed to prevent famine now and in the future.
