WORLD NEWS ON POVERTY
December 30, 2002
HUNGER CRISIS SET TO WORSEN IN 2003 DESPITE FRESH
DONATIONS
Source: World Food Program
JOHANNESBURG - In response to warnings that a worsening
humanitarian
crisis is on the horizon in southern Africa next year, the
international donor
community has contributed vital funds to the UN World Food
Programme
(WFP) that will help save millions of lives across the
region in the coming
months.
Fresh end-of-year contributions, totaling more than US$
25.2 million,
have lifted WFP's emergency operation out of a weeks-long
funding slump.
With the new donations, the largest from Japan, the
African Development Bank
(ADB), Germany and Canada, the operation is now 62 percent
resourced.
WFP has been urging donors for a rapid response to its
US$507 million
appeal to feed at least 12 million people caught in the
hunger belt that
stretches across Zimbabwe, Malawi, Zambia, Mozambique,
Lesotho and Swaziland. The
nine-month emergency operation, which began in July, still
requires
some US$ 190 million - more than one third of the total
project cost - to make
it through March 2003. To date, WFP has delivered more
than 270,000 metric
tons of relief food to the six countries, but hundreds of
thousands more
will be needed over the next few months.
"These donations have come just in time to keep the food
pipeline
flowing, but we are not out of danger yet. Food is running
out fast and millions
of people can simply not make it through the next several
months without
continued food aid," said Judith Lewis, WFP's southern
Africa Regional
Coordinator. "Our lack of resources is seriously
threatening WFP's
ability to feed these growing numbers of desperately
hungry of people -- many
of whom are suffering the double blow of HIV/AIDS and food
shortages,
which are intrinsically linked in southern Africa," added
Lewis.
The situation is set to get worse as more and more people
drop into the
most vulnerable category. In the long term, the situation
will not be
brought under control unless more is done to address
economic collapse,
continued policy mismanagement, chronic poverty - and most
of all, the
devastating HIV/AIDS pandemic that's severely debilitating
the entire region.
In the short term, household food stocks across large
parts of the
region will diminish even faster during the 'hunger gap,'
or lean season,
which started this month and continues until the onset of
the main harvest in
April. Over the coming months, millions whose food stocks
are exhausted
will rely on WFP relief food for survival.
In Zimbabwe, for example, well over half the population is
now in need
of food aid. WFP has moved in tens of thousands of tons in
December alone
to feed increasingly weakened men, women and children
across the country.
Early signs are pointing to another possible drought next
year in parts
of southern Africa. The Southern African Development
Community (SADC) has
warned of potential problems across the region with lower
than expected
rainfall in Malawi, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Zambia and
beyond.
It is still too early to know how much next year's harvest
will
produce, but with unfavorable weather, insufficient access
to seeds and other
agricultural inputs around the region, the impact of
HIV/AIDS on
productivity - the likelihood is that the harvest will
once again fall
far short of regional needs and that additional food aid
will be needed
well into next year.
"The time to act is now - not tomorrow, not next week or
month, but
now. We need to keep moving food into the homes of
families that have been torn
apart by drought, disease, and economic strife," added
Lewis. "We've
seen a lot of generosity from the international community
and would like to
thank all donors for being a part of this important
response in 2002. And
with this month's end-of-the-year contributions, we are
getting the New Year
off to the right start."
The new WFP donations made this month come from: Japan (US$
9.1
million), the ADB (US$ 4 million), Germany (US$ 4 million),
Canada (US$ 3.5
million), Finland (US$ 3 million), Austria (US$ 2 million),
Australia (US$ 1.4
million) and Malaysia (US$ 100,000).

WORDS OF LOVE FROM BHAGAVAN
When a person harvests God in the field of his heart, he
is a true
Hindu and a true Christian. Therefore, when you fill your
heart with love, then
you may be of any religion, you become one and you feel
the unity.
BHAGAVAN SRI SATHYA SAI BABA
WORDS OF SERVICE FROM BHAGAVAN
There are many great saints in this state of Maharashtra.
They are
present all over the world. But how are we living and
leading our lives. And
one who cannot make use of the hand in serving
and the tongue in singing His glory, that man's life is of
no use.
BHAGAVAN SRI SATHYA SAI BABA
SAI RAM
THE FAMOUS WORDS OF BHAGAVAN SRI SATHYA SAI BABA
Serve the poor with love. That alone can redeem you.
Service to the
poor is service to God. Sacrifice your life for the cause
of the poor. Service
to the poor is My only motto. I have no other desires. I
am prepared to
sacrifice even My life to serve the poor. Do atleast one
thousandth
part of what Swami is doing. Of what use is human life if
it is not spent in
the service of the poor?
BHAGAVAN SRI SATHYA SAI BABA
Jai Sai Ram
HELPING SWAMI’S MISSION
Eventhough the Sathya Sai Organization does not entertain
any
collection of money from its members and public by
canvassing and advertising. It is
worth that at least a word of swami’s projects should be
known to public so
any good soul can think of donating any money to those
projects. Swami’s
projects need wide support from the global community. Help
ever Hurt
Never.
Jai Sai Ram.
SOME OF BHAGAVAN SRI SATHYA SAI BABA’S MAJOR PROJECTS
Avathars are engaged in selfless service (seva); that is why
Avathars happen. Offering service to mankind pleases Avathars. ...
I am active and busy twenty-four hours a day. ... I have never
craved a minute's rest or sleep or relief.
