Horn of Africa: Ethiopia, Somalia, Uganda people have little or no food

(SomaliNet)According to the latest humanitarian report, up to 14 million people are facing a dire situation. The people of Ethiopia, Somalia, Uganda and Northern Kenya have little or no food, and it's creating potential calamity for the region.
"East Africa is in the middle of a food shortage and a drought. The rains that normally occur at this time of year were well below normal. So they're predicting well-below-normal harvests in all of these regions," Dave Evans, vice president of government resources and programs with Food For the Hungry, says.
Food For the Hungry has been helping in many of these areas with agricultural programs.
Evans says, "Rainfall started in time but ended prematurely. The most hit are ground nuts (peanuts) and some cereals, including corn. Normally a ground nut has 24 to 30 pods per plant, but farms are reporting only five to six."
That's a 75-percent loss in production.
Evan says, "We're headed into a crisis here -- food prices exacerbated by drought."
While it's sometimes discouraging, "As Christian organizations, this is another opportunity for us to respond in a Christ-like way to people in need, so we're gearing up to do that," he says.
Food for the Hungry has worked in the region for two decades, working alongside the local church. Evans says it is a chance for the church to shine. "They're hurting themselves, but it's an opportunity also to reach out to their neighbors in love and share what little they have. And also, maybe [we can help with] some extra resources that these churches can benefit from."
The ultimate goal is to lead people to Christ.
The situation looks hopeless, but Christians need to be involved. "Food for the Hungry will be engaged in a concerted effort in all three of these countries, and we are seeking resources to be able to step up our activities to help meet these needs."
Your financial support to help save lives physically, but as they're able to hear the Gospel, their hearts can be changed for eternity. Consider giving generously so thousands can experience new hope. (MNN)
