What do words like “food insecurity” and “famine” actually mean? Our graphic below explains. And when it comes to hunger, understanding is action. If we know what these words mean in human terms, we feel more motivated to help.
To help our response to the wide spread extreme hunger and famine, please donate here.
This year, particularly, a day like this has never been more important with global aid cuts, and rising crises in countries like Palestine, South Sudan, Congo, Somalia, Ukraine and Syria. Oxfam Canada honours the bravery, dedication, and compassion of all humanitarian workers. We also recognize the local organizations and community leaders who are the first responders in times of crisis. Their knowledge, resilience, and commitment are the backbone of humanitarian action.
