East Africa Appeal - Reach out with ABC Radio National! 4

Saturday 13 August 1-4pm

Hosted by Natasha Mitchell and Michael Cathcart.

More than 12 million people are affected by famine and war in East Africa. The epicentre for this crisis is the Horn of Africa and the countries of Somalia, Ethiopia, Djibouti and Eritrea.

The region’s need for food aid is immediate and overwhelming. This special explores the origins of the current crisis with leading thinkers in the field, aid agencies and the UN.

And local musicians and artists bring the sounds and sensations of Africa.

Donations can be made direct to UNHCR on 1300 440 433 or by going to their website (HERE) – or to your own preferred international aid agency.
