What the petition asks

We must act now
The United Nations have said this week that we are facing the greatest humanitarian crisis since 1945.
20 million people face starvation in Yemen, Somalia, South Sudan & Nigeria.
Unicef has already warned 1.4m children could starve to death this year.
Please read this article and watch the video to inform yourself on this urgent issue:

We must listen to the United Nations, this is a desperate and dire situation. We are all citizens of this world and have a global responsibility to each other.
We need more funding/ resources to tackle this inadmissible situation.

This is not a political battle, this concerns the lives of millions, whatever your views, we cannot allow starvation to continue.
