Crisis in Sahel

In recent weeks, through my membership of Oxfam, I have become aware of the food crisis in Sahel, West Africa. It threatens the lives and livelihoods of 18.4 million people. There is a campaign seeking additional resources from the UK Government to alleviate the crisis.

 Signatures to a letter to the UK Government in support of people in Sahel.

I am supporting the call for increasing funding from the UK Government for the region in line with its 'fair share' of the money needed.
