HORN AFRICA , HELP HIM NOW OR NEVER

[topclef]

Dear FRIENDS , as you know :
More than 10000 people have died already. The livelihood of more than 12 million people is threatened as they are in dire need of food aid. ... ,
In Somalia, if urgent action is not taken, it is predicted the famine will spread to all eight provinces of the country. Water, food, and basic necessities have become inaccessible to most people.

More than 800,000 people have fled the most drought affected areas in search of survival. People are flocking into camps in Kenya and Ethiopia. Many people have walked hundreds of miles seeking help.

In Kenya the largest refugee camps are in Dadaab. Originally these camps were established to house 90,000 people. As of July 20, the camps? capacity was exceeded, housing a refugee population of 440,000 people with 1,400 additional people arriving daily.
The World Health Organization stated that ?8.8 million people are at risk of malaria and 5 million of cholera.? The problem is expected to worsen as the rains are not anticipated to arrive until October of this year. The shortage of man power due to mass fleeing will affect future agricultural production as well. Staple prices have risen to 240 percent in southern Somalia, 117 percent in southeastern Ethiopia, and 58 percent in northern Kenya.
our moral compels us to help these people, today before tomorrow , because who knows tomorrow what will happen .
otherwise , Each one of us has a debt to these people .
No one is safe today, it's them , may be tomorrow will be our turn to ask for help .
So, DONATE TODAY , YOU FIND THE HELP TOMORROW .

UNICEF Australia - Donate to charity and support children in need with charity donations you can afford
UNHCR - Donors

GOD BLESS YOU MY FRIENDS

I've got some spare contraceptives left lying around and a few second hand condoms if they're any use. They're welcome to them.

sorry things are too tough for me at the moment- i wont be giving out any of my hard earned cash at the moment.

I am all for giving & helping...but I dont think my donation is going to make much difference.(and I do give)

The whole of Africe is in need of help & it would require ???BILLIONS??? year after year to make any difference.

You should ask the British government for donations as it is happy to give our money to every other country but its own.

Isnt Somalia the place where all the shipping pirates come from and have accrued millions of dollars from blackmail and extortion, and to this day are holding ships and hostages prisoners?? ( As of 11 December 2010, Somali pirates were holding at least 35 ships with more than 650 hostages. ) (source Wikipedia ) So what is the Somalian Government doing to liberate the cash these pirates have, to help their own countryfolk during the food shortages. ---------- Answer of course is, bugger all !!!!

IIRC there is no government in Somalia, that's the problem.
