United Kingdom (UK) Humanitarian Relief to Africa and Yemen: The Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) has raised £72 million (US$90 million), and counting, which will go towards humanitarian aid efforts in Yemen and South Sudan, the Guardian reported.

The £50 million (US $62 million) raised for east Africa will provide food, water, and medical care for 7 million people during the next two years, according to Saleh Saeed, chief executive of DEC. The remaining £22 million will go to Yemen.

Last March, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) warned that 20 million people in Yemen, South Sudan, Somalia, and Nigeria would face starvation in three to four months if the world didn’t respond.

The United Kingdom has answered that call. Read the full story…. globalcitizen.org
