Nations Warning: Disaster Contribution and Sanitation Facilities

nations warning: The UN has said 4.4 billion in humanitarian aid is needed by July to avert disaster, according to Brandon Sun. Canada's contribution of 119.25 million, to be delivered through UN agencies and non-governmental humanitarian organizations, will go towards the provision of food, health care services, clean water and sanitation facilities, and support to protect people's income-generating activities. The pledge comes in response to a United Nations warning earlier this month that the desperate situation in the four countries represents the largest humanitarian crisis the world has faced since the end of the Second World War. In particular, the aid is to be targeted at the most vulnerable, generally women and children. In February, the UN declared a famine in parts of South Sudan. Severe food insecurity in the region is the result of internal conflicts, which have displaced millions, and major drought in Somalia. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
