ROME: Donor countries will meet on the escalating drought crisis in the Horn of Africa on Wednesday, French Agriculture Minister Bruno Le Maire said at emergency UN talks in Rome.
He said Monday's meeting of UN aid chiefs and charities in the Italian capital would also "prepare for the donor conference in Nairobi in two days' time."
The United Nations has called for $1.6 billion (1.1 billion euros) over the next 12 months to aid an estimated 12 million people affected in the region.
