President of International Rescue Committee (IRC), David Miliband has visited displaced communities that have been impacted by drought in a village in the Somali region of Ethiopia.
The former UK Foreign Secretary said there was an “urgent need to stave off the growing hunger crisis in this part of East Africa.”
He urged leaders attending the United Nations Climate Change Conference, COP27 in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, to “address the needs of the people here today,” because they are “paying the price of the climate crisis already.”
The severe drought in the Horn of Africa has pushed people to the brink of starvation, destroying crops and killing livestock.
