Food security: IFRC’s new secretary general urges G8 to invest more in long-term action
“I am increasingly concerned by the growing rise in food prices that has a devastating impact on the everyday life of millions of vulnerable people throughout the world,” said Bekele Geleta, the new secretary general of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), in a statement issued before the opening of the G8 summit in Japan on Monday.
The International Federation
of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) is the world's largest
humanitarian organization, with 186 member National Societies.
All our work is guided by seven fundamental
principles; humanity, impartiality, neutrality, independence,
voluntary service, unity and universality.
