which states of United Sates are affected by famines
Answers
The United States is deeply concerned about the risk of famine in northeastern Nigeria, Somalia, South Sudan and Yemen. We are the single largest donor of humanitarian assistance for these countries, providing lifesaving aid to avert famine and help people in need. U.S. assistance includes emergency food, nutrition, water, shelter, healthcare, sanitation, hygiene services and protection. The United States also provides humanitarian assistance to refugees from these four countries. On September 21, on the margins of the 72nd United National General Assembly, USAID Administrator Mark Green announced more than $575 million in additional U.S. humanitarian assistance for the four countries at risk of famine. The people of Yemen are simultaneously facing the world’s worst cholera outbreak of the world’s largest food security emergency. With more than 17 million people at risk of severe hunger or starvation the United States is providing food and vouchers to vulnerable families as well as treatment for malnourished children. To fight the cholera outbreak, the United States is providing medical supplies, training healthcare workers, supporting treatment centers to help people recover, promoting the importance of hand washing and broader cholera prevention campaigns.
