ICRC Buys Starving Livestock to Feed the Needy
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in Mali has bought up thousands of starving animals, slaughters them and distributes the meat to the country’s drought-stricken population.
With containers in hands, residents await the meat from four cows slaughtered in the village in the north-west of the country, which have lost too much weight from lack of grazing and water.
The organisation says it seeks to buy 38 000 head of cattle from 10 000 families of farmers and farmers affected by the cumulative effects of insecurity and drought in northern Mali and northern Niger.
