40 million Africans face hunger Associated Press ----------------------------- ROME, Dec. 17 (Xinhua)--At least 40 million people are facing hunger on the African continent, the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) said in a report released here Tuesday. The situation was most serious in southern Africa, the Rome-based agency said, adding 16.7 million people need emergency food assistance to survive until the next harvest in April 2003. "Because of the high rates of HIV/AIDS throughout the sub-region, widespread hunger threatens many people with life-threatening complications," the report said. The report said 12.7 million dollars is needed to help southern Africa`s "neediest" farmers buy seeds, fertilizers and hand tools. The report also warns that serious food shortages are looming in several countries in the Horn of Africa, "where at least 17.5 million people are without sufficient food." A total of 25 countries in sub-Saharan Africa "are facing food emergencies caused by problems that range from drought and adverse weather to civil strive, economic difficulties, an increase in internally displaced people and an influx of refugees," the report said.
