Last month actress Sienna Miller visited the Dolo Ado camps in eastern Ethiopia in her role as global ambassador for the International Medical Corps.
After overseeing their emergency nutrition programmes and meeting many of those gravely affected by the severe drought and famine, Sienna is now calling for greater attention to the current humanitarian crisis in East Africa, “Without immediate humanitarian intervention, more than 390,000 children are at risk of starvation.”
In some areas of Kenya, Somalia and Ethiopia, a child is dying every six minutes and support is urgently needed to help the millions of people facing starvation in the already strained refugee camps.
For more information about this urgent appeal please go to the International Medical Corps website - you could, by donating some much needed money, help them deliver lifesaving nutrition and other basic supplies.
