The leaflet reports that hundreds of thousands of people in Africa died from hunger during the past year because of droughts, floods, war and conflict, dismal economic conditions, lack of transport, and lack of foreign exchange to import needed goods. Responding to widespread hunger, the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) has created an AFRICA HUNGER FUND for emergency aid throughout the continent, beginning with Mozambique, where AFSC's Zimbabwean-bases staff James Seawell and Edgar Lockwood visited in September 1983. The leaflet says AFSC has made a $20,000 emergency grant in Mali; David Negus, AFSC's representative there, has consulted with administrative, political and traditional leaders to coordinate a relief plan. A photograph shows AFSC staff Ned Seligman in Somalia. The leaflet includes quotes from Senator John C. Danforth, the Philadelphia Inquirer, and the Christian Science Monitor. • Aid to Mozambique • Aid to nomads in Mali
