UN Appeals for Funds for Madagascar

The United Nations has appealed for US$35 million to "save lives" in Madagascar, where over three million people need help following political instability and natural disasters.

In a press statement, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), points out that, “To prevent the deterioration of the humanitarian situation, the Madagascar Humanitarian Country Team is seeking US$35.7 million to save lives."

OCHA states that the funds will also help bolster social safety nets and, should the political situation allow, support time-critical recovery.
