UN Ready to Aid Drought-Hit Nicaragua
Managua - The United Nations readies efforts
to aid Nicaragua suffering a drought caused
by climate phenomenon El Nino, informed an
official source.
According to Alfredo Missair, resident
coordinator of the United Nations System in
Nicaragua, his agency will supply 20 million
dollars of aid.
The official added that he evaluates a
series of contingency plans to prevent a
food crisis.
The UN intends to cooperate in future
emergency situations although, he said, we
never work only in cases of emergency but
later participate in recovery and later
development.
The work of the international agency will be
to collaborate and complement actions of the
government and later will have to receive
support from the international community,
indicated Missair. |
