AusAID media release: Worst drought in the Horn of Africa in 60 years

   

14 July 2011
 
Foreign Minister Kevin Rudd yesterday announced that Australia will contribute $11.2 million to help meet urgent food needs in the Horn of Africa. Australia's assistance will be delivered through partners, such as the World Food Programme and the UN Food and Agriculture Organization.

'The world cannot stand by and witness a repeat of the mistakes of the 1984 famine, where delays in an international response saw a catastrophic loss of life.' he said.

Australia will continue to closely monitor the humanitarian situation in the Horn of Africa, and stands ready to assist further as required.
