Erratic rains of 2009 have given rise to a serious lack of pasture, water and crop failure. The worst affected country is Niger, where 7.1 million people are at risk. Some 2 million people are threatened in Chad and a considerable number of people are expected to suffer the effects of food shortages in Mali in the coming months. Some areas of Nigeria and Burkina Faso are also at risk. In Niger, the harvest has been reduced by 26% compared to the previous year, and in some areas, notably in Diffa, in the east, and Tillabéry, west, have had no harvest at all. In Chad, the harvest has been reduced by 34%. It is expected that the regions of Hadjer Lamis, Batha, Bahr El Ghaza, and Guera Kanem and eastern Chad are seriously affected, especially from the month June 2010. In the Sahel, the crops have generally declined by 9% with large differences between East and West in this region. Oxfam, in coordination with local and national organizations, has initiated humanitarian work in the most vulnerable areas of Niger. Distributed food and other goods to families and the poorest students, measures to protect livestock and buying weaker animals for prices above the market price. In Chad, Oxfam serves people living in the region and Dar Sila Lamis Hajer through food distribution and development of projects to support the creation of livestock and agriculture. Oxfam is present in the Sahel region for several decades working on sustainable solutions to address the root causes of food crises by creating grain and fodder banks. The organization also works on projects that promote the diversification of sources of income and education and literacy programs. A structural vulnerability, lack of rain and crop failure estdejando to central Chad crtica a food security situation. Resources are scarce and ever more pressing needs. In Chad, the drought is already showing since April its most bitter in the Sahelian regions of Kanem, Bahr-El-Gazal, Hajer Lamis, Batha and Guéra. Family granaries are empty. The 2009 harvest has been good, has dropped by 34%, and there is no surplus, no animals to sell. In markets exorbitant prices have risen due to high demand and short supply of cereals, especially millet, the staple food. Despite its ban, they will fetch wood and then sell it and get some money to enable them to buy essential food. About 800,000 people are already in a precarious situation since April. Over the next three months this number will increase to 2 million, 18% of the population. In Djay, women dig the earth to find the queen ant and collect seeds and grains that the ants have taken him. The water, another scarce resource. Public sources are saturated and the local open, where they can, wells without any hygienic measure. We urge the heads of state to implement a new plan based on the needs of the Afghan people and Afghan initiatives and policy objectives and not short-term military.
Dependent on livestock and land for their survival pastoralist communities of Africa's Sahel belt facing the danger of a severe food crisis. In total there are 10 million people at risk. Niger is the worst affected country with 8 million people in areas affected by the lack of rain, but the threat extends to other countries in the region such as Chad, Mali, Burkina Faso, Mauritania and Nigeria. Oxfam has warned that we must act immediately to avoid a long food crisis proportions. Oxfam teams we are intervening in Niger, Chad and Mali. And we are implementing responses to mitigate the effects of the crisis in Burkina Faso. The erratic rains last year resulted in a lack of water and a significant shortfall in the pasture, resulting in poor harvests. In Niger, crops were reduced by 26% compared to last year, and in some regions, notably in Diffa in eastern and western Tillabéry, there was not even harvest. In Chad, the harvest was down 34%. It is expected that the regions of Hadjer Lamis, Batha, Bahr El Ghaza, and Guera Kanem and eastern Chad are seriously affected, especially from the month April 2010. According to Oxfam, the grain prices are high and rising in the region. In Niger, prices of millet increased by 25% and sorghum by 50% compared to 2009. No rain is expected by June and is expected to steadily increase prices until the next harvest in September. Farmers are particularly vulnerable as a guild that rely exclusively on their livestock for subsistence. According Bakaun Hassan, representative of sand, a local partner organization of Oxfam in Niger: "Without having to be fed, the farmers will do everything possible to sell their livestock, making reduce the value of the animals. This means that for every animal sold in the market, farmers will have less grain to feed their families. " While the current situation is not as serious as the 2005 food crisis, aid is needed urgently by the international community to alleviate the serious consequences. Oxfam is calling on developed countries to respond as quickly as possible at the first signs of impending disaster, citing the unnecessary delays that claimed several lives during the 2005 food crisis in Niger. Oxfam International, local and national organizations, has initiated humanitarian work in the most vulnerable areas of Niger, especially in Maradi, Tahoua, Zinder and Tillabéry. Distributed food and other goods to families and the poorest students, measures to protect livestock and buying weaker animals for prices above the market price. The early warning system developed by Oxfam's local partners in Niger and disseminated in the rural radio is particularly important in the current crisis. This gives farmers the information they need to act quickly. In Chad, Oxfam International serves people affected in the region Hajer Lamis and Dar Sila (Gozbeida, Koukou, Kerfi and Amdam) through food distribution and development of projects to support the creation of livestock and agriculture. Oxfam has aid workers in the country and will soon send an assessment team to the affected areas.In Mali, Oxfam International will begin distributing food and animal feed about 100 000. Oxfam is present in the Sahel region for several decades working on sustainable solutions to address the root causes of food crises by creating grain and fodder banks. The organization also works on projects that promote the diversification of sources of income and education and literacy programs. Someone once told me that to make a good soup, it was necessary evaporation. It seems that to build something important is not enough with the will of many, but require great determination of a few. Few but determined, few but committed. What are we looking for? How will we cope? I encourage you to discover it together. ..
