EMERGENCY TROCAIRE COLLECTION
Prolonged drought has led to severe food shortages across East Africa. According to Trócaire, approximately 25 million people are in need of emergency assistance. Trócaire’s response in South Sudan, Kenya and Ethiopia focuses on food and water, while in Somalia they are also running health clinics treating people for malnutrition, cholera and other health issues. Currently Trócaire, on behalf of the faithful of Ireland, is reaching out to approximately 150,000 people.
