London, Mar 26, 2003 (allAfrica.com/All Africa Global Media via COMTEX) -- As cash is poured into the war with Iraq and its aftermath, the world could soon b confronted by a humanitarian funding crisis graver than any since the end of th Second World War. According to George Monbiot, a London-based writer and visiting professor of environmental science at the University of East London, a worsening emergency is engulfing Africa, where aid flows have slowed to a tiny portion of what is required.
Every year, in November, the United Nations agencies that deal with disasters launch what they call a "consolidated appeal" for each of the countries suffering a "complex emergency". They expect to receive the money they request by May of the following year.
The payments and promises they have extracted so far chart the collapse of international concern for the people of almost every nation except Iraq. The impact on Africa is particularly serious.
In Eritrea, for example, the drought is so severe that the water table has fallen by ten metres. Most of the nation's crops have failed and grain prices have doubled. Seventy per cent of its 3.3 million people are now classified as vulnerable to famine. The United Nations has asked the rich countries for $163m
Вообщем-то то чего я и опасался. Повторяю - в мире есть проблемы более важные чем Хуссейн, и их никто не решает.
