IMed are raising money for the "East Africa Emergency Appeal" throughout our charity week. The people of Somalia, South Sudan, Nigeria and Yemen are suffering from one of the worst droughts in recent times. Food prices are rising, famine is occurring and violence is constantly at hand.

As-Suffa and Muslim Aid are working tirelessly to help the 20 million affected by ending their hunger, quenching their thirst and giving them hope. They're helping to send food parcels, make boreholes and set up mobile clinics to treat those affected by this crisis. 1.4 million children are now severely malnourished and are at serious risk of death and disease.
