"The world appears reluctant to open its wallets to relief organizations dedicated to saving the lives of Africa's children until it's official. They want the United Nations to declare a famine," a Globe and Mail editorial states. "UNICEF is to be credited for its preemptive global effort to break this tragic cycle of paralysis and delayed response in the case of the Sahel," where "[o]ne million children are currently at risk of dying of acute malnutrition," the editorial continues, and highlights a fundraising campaign launched by the organization last week, called #SahelNOW.
