'Millions face famine' in Africa
bbc.co.uk -- The World Food Programme (WFP) has warned that 12.8 million people are on the brink of starvation in southern Africa and urgently need food aid. It made the warning in Johannesburg, where international aid agencies, donor governments and humanitarian organisations are meeting to discuss ways of alleviating the situation. Crops have failed across the region due to drought, floods and political breakdown. The impact of food shortages over the next 12 months, particularly on people with HIV/Aids, will also be discussed by the delegates, the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation said.
