Horn of Africa: Let's turn the tide

Film star and UNDP Goodwill Ambassador Antonio Banderas today launched a global appeal to assist more than 12 million people across the Horn of Africa left in need by famine, drought, conflict and high food prices.
"Today, across the Horn of Africa, people are dying from hunger, and hundreds of thousands have left their homes, walking for weeks in search of food," Banderas said of the crisis unfolding in Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya and Somalia.
"To turn the tide, to offer hope in the name of our common humanity, we must mobilize worldwide."
Banderas has been a UNDP Goodwill Ambassador since March
