Celebrities support UNICEF's urgent appeal for West Africa hunger crisis...
UNICEF UK Ambassador Ralph Fiennes is one of many UNICEF celebrity supporters calling for an urgent response to the food crisis in West Africa that UNICEF has described as a growing scandal.
The actor has recalled his visit to Chad where he saw a malnourished infant that was in a life threatening situation...
Writing in his blog, he says: "I am alarmed to hear from UNICEF that in the next few months, a million children could die in eight countries across West Africa, including Chad, without immediate treatment and care..."
Bemoaning the lack of media attention for the food crisis that currently threatens so many vulnerable children, and with all the necessary remedies still underfunded the actor is urging the global community to wake up to the impending crisis.
And for anyone who can help, to support UNICEF's global appeal to raise funds for the children whose lives are at risk...
The charity also launched its #SahelNOW social media campaign ... which is receiving endorsements from millions already including celebrities such as Eddie Izzard, Bjork, Mia Farrow and Danny Glover.
