Lucie thinks about famine in Africa


Slow Response to East Africa Famine cost lives
In Africa there have been thousands of needless deaths because other countries around the world failed to react to early warning.
Oxfam and save the Children say it took more than six months for aid agencies to act on warnings to help east Africa to food and clean water. But sadly the aid agencies have not acted as quickly as they should have. So between 50,000 and 100,000 people have died in Kenya, Ethiopia and Somalia.
They also say part of the problem is that the government of Kenya and Ethiopia were unwilling to admit the scale of disaster, but also the aid agency staff felt they had seen the problem many times before in the past .
In the book of the bible said Jesus fed 5,000 starving people but he only had five loves and two fish, to day people would say that was a miracle. So if Jesus was her today he would probably have helped all those hungry starving people out in east Africa so aid agencies should have at least tried to react a bit sooner and help semen of the people out in east Africa. The story in the bible relates to the story about the hunger in east Africa because there was lots of hungry person Jesus was trying to feed and there were lots of hungry people out in east Africa.
