Oxfam launches appeal for West Africa food crisis
 With more than three million people - including almost a million children - facing starvation in Niger, Oxfam has launched a £1 million appeal for the West Africa Food Crisis. "The situation is desperate," said Natasha Kafoworola Quist, Oxfam's Regional Director for West Africa, currently in Niger. "The people effected by this crisis need money now. Every day that the world's richest countries look the other way, more people face starvation." Oxfam are calling on the public to support the appeal because the international community have pledged only one third of the money needed to save lives in West Africa. In many cases, even the pledges that have been made have not translated into money arriving. The failure to fund these appeals is putting lives at risk.
