The United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) is holding conversations with partner organizations working in the Horn of Africa and planning a regional response to the growing hunger crisis provoked by severe drought in the region.
Years of drought in Somalia, Ethiopia, Kenya, and Djibouti have escalated in recent weeks, causing widespread hunger and, in two regions of southern Somalia, famine.
“UMCOR is working with our partners to act as quickly and as comprehensively as possible,” reported Melissa Crutchfield, UMCOR executive for International Disaster Response. “While we do, we ask for your continued prayers and support for those affected by this crisis.”
Your help is URGENTLY NEEDED. Please give to International Disaster Response, UMCOR Advance #982450, and earmark your gift for Horn of Africa Crisis.
On behalf of UMCOR, I would like to thank you for this post and raising awareness of this crisis. J. Rollins, Director of Marketing and Communications for UMCOR.
