Washington -- President Bush announced April 6 that the United States is committing an additional $92 million to prevent widespread famine in the Horn of Africa and to diminish the underlying causes of food insecurity in the region.
The amount includes use of funds designated by the U.S. Congress for early intervention to prevent or mitigate the effects of famine, according to a statement by White House press secretary Scott McClellan.
"We commend the governments of Kenya, Ethiopia, and Djibouti for their assistance in the delivery of aid to prevent another catastrophic famine in the Horn of Africa," the statement said.
The funds are in addition to more than $150 million in emergency humanitarian food and nonfood assistance already provided by the United States to the region since October 2005.
