Despite
early warnings, donors were slow to respond to the southern
African food crisis.
"We are facing a real inequity in global humanitarian
practice where many of the world’s wars and disasters

they must act on their principles and intervene where the
needs are most acute,” says Juan Manuel Suárez
del Toro, president of the International Federation.
