Niger Faces Another Food Crisis
Niger is facing another food crisis, CARE International reports, with indications showing that one million people are facing food shortage. The number is likely to double by June.
The situation follows last year’s crisis, where three-fifths of Niger’s population faced critical debt.
CARE, as the largest international non-governmental organisation working in Niger, has been calling for urgent action and investment from the international community six months since the Niger crisis first came to public attention in the UK, both to prevent another emergency and to tackle the current poverty in the world's poorest country.
