Just one year ago, the worst drought in 60 years ravaged the Horn of Africa and put 13 million people at mortal risk. This summer the global community braces for another cycle of devastation extending from East Africa northwest through the Sahel region.
Join us for a briefing from the field with International Rescue Committee experts as they assess the widening disaster, describe the impact of the IRC's response in the region and chart the promise of lifesaving results if sufficient resources are mobilized in time.
What: Phone briefing
When: Wednesday, June 27, 2012
Time: 12-1pm EDT
RSVP here by June 25
