Last week, the Disasters Emergency Committee issued another appeal calling for urgent donations for Africa which is going through a full-blown famine the first recorded in Africa for 27 years. Many women tie a rope around their waist to stave off their hunger pangs so they can give their children any food they get. This practice shows how desperately hungry women are. Women have died after untying their stomachs once food is available . The sudden reintroduction of food can shock the body too much, and even cause heart failure.
Around 2.9 million people in Somalia-a third of the population -need humanitarian aid, while nearly five million people are affected in Ethioia. Meanwhile, 3.5 million are at risk of starvation in Kenya.
