Humanitarian Aid from New Zealand: “Not only will this provide emergency food assistance, it will also help fund food security initiatives such as school meals for children. “We will also provide $1 million to support the International Committee of the Red Cross in Syria, where an estimated 13.5 million people are in need of assistance due to continuing conflict.

The aid will go towards providing household items, as well as providing healthcare to the sick and wounded. This announcement brings New Zealand’s assistance to relief efforts across South Sudan, Somalia, Nigeria and Yemen to more than $7 million since the beginning of March.

Millions Face Starvation Across Africa and the Middle East

According to Foreign Minister Gerry Brownlee, “An estimated 45 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance across South Sudan, Somalia, Nigeria and Yemen, of which 20 million face starvation and famine. Conflict and insecurity have exacerbated drought conditions, causing widespread humanitarian need.”

“The aid will go towards providing household items, as well as providing healthcare to the sick and wounded. The funding will also go towards training female heads of households so they can start income-generating activities.”

“In each of these countries, the World Food Programme and International Committee of the Red Cross will be providing life-saving relief assistance in areas including emergency food, water, and healthcare to those who need it most.” Read the full story…. reliefweb.int
