If you missed the World Food Programme’s live Google+ hangout about the Sahel hunger crisis yesterday you can watch it in its entirety on Youtube.

“The biggest challenge we have is the areas where we didn’t intervene, but where we see now the food security situation has deteriorated,” said Brown. “People have no food stocks left at the household level. The prices on the market have increased.”
