famines

Delays in the system dealing with humanitarian aid to Somalia and other areas of the world in need, will ultimately result in more famines, says a new study by British think tank Chatham House.

Few know about the great famine in the Ukraine, 1932–1933, which left an estimated 6 million–10 million people dead because of Joseph Stalin’s policies.

Operation Provide Relief began on Aug. 15, 1992 to help what famine-struck country?
