Since the early months of 2017, we face a famine in many countries like Somalia, South Soudan, Nigeria and Yemen. Due to El Niño-induced weather patterns and conflicts food insecurity intensified in these countries. People suffer from drought or had to flee, so the occurrence of hunger and malnutrition worsened.
We are proud to announce that action medeor is now part of the “Partnership for Quality Medical Donations” (PQMD). This February, we became the 39th member of the global alliance.
