Starvation 'biggest compassionate emergency in history of UN'

UN humanitarian says 20 million individuals in Yemen, South Sudan, Somalia and Nigeria confront starvation.


The world faces the biggest humanitarian emergency since the UN was established in 1945 with more than 20 million individuals in four nations at danger of starvation and starvation, the UN philanthropic chief has said. 

Stephen O'Brien told the UN Security Chamber on Friday that "without group and facilitated worldwide endeavors, individuals will essentially starve to death" and "numerous more will experience the ill effects of infection". 

He encouraged a prompt infusion of assets for Yemen, South Sudan, Somalia and upper east Nigeria in addition to sheltered and unrestricted access for humanitarian aid "to turn away a calamity". 

"To be exact," O'Brien stated, "we require $4.4bn by July".
