Myth

Donations are needed most after a famine is declared.

Fact

We can actually prevent more death and misery by acting earlier. Donations are needed now so humanitarian aid groups can intervene with aid that can save lives and help avoid a famine. The UN issued an emergency appeal of $4.4 billion that is needed by March to prevent humanitarian catastrophes from sweeping across South Sudan, Yemen, Northeast Nigeria and Somalia. They need lifesaving resources right now to prevent millions of preventable deaths.
