VIDEO - Famine Prevention and Response: How to avert a humanitarian catastrophe

North-east Nigeria, Somalia, South Sudan and Yemen are facing devastating  humanitarian crises. To avert a humanitarian catastrophe, the United Nations and our partners have dramatically scaled up operations.

Together with the World Bank, the UN is also stepping up cooperation between humanitarian and development partners. By strengthening such links, we aim to not only save lives, but to build people’s resilience to withstand future shocks.  But ending conflicts is vital to assure protection of civilians and access to people in need.

Allowing famine to unfold is a choice. We must choose to prevent it.
