Launch of the World Disasters Report 2011 - Overseas Development Institute (ODI)

The livelihoods of an estimated 12 million people are currently under threat in the Horn of Africa and nearly 4 million people in Somalia alone are in need of life-saving assistance. Although the world produces more than enough food to feed everyone, in 2011 almost 1 billion people will go hungry. This event is the UK launch of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies' (IFRC) annual World Disasters Report(WDR). This year the report focuses on global issues of hunger and malnutrition.
