CARE joined with seven other organizations in a first-of-its-kind fundraising appeal for the 20 million people on the brink of starvation in Yemen, South Sudan, Somalia, and Nigeria. In a CNN.com story, CARE COO Heather Higginbottom spoke on behalf of the coalition describing her recent trip to visit two refugee camps in Uganda where more than a million refugees are coming from South Sudan. “One woman…I will not forget her. She came with eleven children,” Higginbottom said. “Four were hers, three were her brother’s — who was killed in front of her — and the others were children of relatives. She is struggling, even in this refugee camp, to feed the children.” The story also includes a stunning photo slideshow: “This is what starvation looks like.”
