IOM donates a further £100,000 to African famine fund

Tue, 09 Aug 2011

The Isle of Man is to donate a further £100,000 pounds for the victims of famine in Africa.

The Overseas Aid Committee granted £50,000 last month to Oxfam to help with relief efforts.

The committee says since then the situation has become worse and members have decided to give more money.

The funds will be used to provide water, food, medical treatment and therapeutic feeding for malnourished children.
