Finland saves lives

In a period when 30,000 kids die in a daily base you can only congratulate the Finnish foreign office for granting 42.7 million euros in humanitarian aid to regions that are continually affected by long term crises.

The funds will be directed to the crisis areas through United Nations agencies which try to help over 27 million people in 19 countries or regions with Sudan and the Democratic republic of Congo the areas with the most needs.

The funds will be used to feed people, people or nations affected by HIV AIDS and of course improve lives of women and girls.

Think of it, if every country followed the example of Finland how many lives would have been saved every day and remember that Finland is a country of 6 million and not a country of 60 million like some others in out developed globe. If Finland can give nearly 43 million then countries like Germany should be able to give 430 millions and when it comes to USA save whole nations from extension.

We often mention in Ovi magazine the number of 30,000 kids dieing every day because it seems that most of the people can not understand it. In some places in Africa like Sudan, water and a plate of food can save lives. The humanitarian catastrophe has reached unbelievable levels and the only way to act is act now.

The former chief of the United Nations has organized a panel in Berlin asking for help and trying to alarm nations that they must help here and now because people die every minute. Let’s hope that others will follow Finland’s example!
