FAMINE IN MALAWI

Motion Text

That this House is deeply disturbed and shocked at the extent of the famine in Malawi and the lack of assistance and aid offered by the international community to those in Malawi affected by this famine; notes that in February reports of children dying as they waited in government food queues were carried in the national press and have been largely ignored by the international community; and calls on the Government and the countries within the European Union immediately to provide financial aid and food sustenance to the people of Malawi as a matter of urgency.
