Ireland suffered through famines during the 19th century where millions starved to death or were displaced.
In fact that aspect of Irish history is told in the Riverdance story. One segment of Riverdance is titled The Countess Cathleen, a legendary woman who fought the evil of famine as told in a story by William Butler Yeats.
Somalia stands on the brink of famine because of a severe drought, but there has not been enough donations to feed the hungry. The D.R. Congo has 26 million people needing food aid and its getting much worse because of violence and displacement. Again, there is a shortage of funds for relief. Rohingya refugees living in the camps in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh are now facing ration cuts because of lack of funding. “With each ration cut, malnutrition will certainly rise. With each ration cut, families will increasingly resort to dangerous strategies to cope. Sadly, women, adolescent girls and children will be the worst affected. We must do everything possible to keep the vital humanitarian assistance they depend on intact,” said Domenico Scalpelli, the WFP director in Bangladesh.
Every one of us can do something to help those in need by supporting relief agencies like WFP, Save the Children, CARE, Concern Worldwide, Catholic Relief Services, Mary’s Meals, UNICEF and Edesia through fundraising and advocacy. You can host an event in your community, school or organizations on St. Patrick’s Day or during Irish history month
