Appeal for aid in West Africa
 A Disasters Emergency Committee appeal is starting to raise millions of pounds for those facing starvation in West Africa. According to the Red Cross, eight million are at risk in Niger, Mali, Mauritania and Burkina Faso. The appeal funds will go to relief programmes, buying food, animal fodder, seeds and medicines. Donations to the DEC Niger Crisis Appeal can be made at www.dec.org.uk, or by phoning the Disasters Emergency Committee on 0870 60 60 900. There's an interesting article about the situation on the BBC website and some great material on the Oxfam main site.
