  • Ethiopea, and Somalia are just by the sea. Why can't the starving people go to the sea where they can distill seawater, eat seaweed, shellfish, well its a sea right its full of life???????? why can't they do that. And whast can I do to help them do that?

  • FTW

  • The devil is losing and at the end will be accused of all the crimes. Live at the full in the freedom of GOD (praying in a right form, following the INSTRUCTIONS in the Bible - keeping the 10 commandments - including keeping the Saturday as the 7th day etc.) instead of in the incapacity and deception of devil. Jesus Christ is the savior and hope.

  • -_- we need to focus on our kids in the USA, but most people in this country will never care about the kids here. They only care what their fav celebs do. Forget thos kids for a long time. Help ourselfs first

  • @halogod18 are you jokeing??? you come on here see the these children with no food, money, water and are starving to death. They will probably die just in dirt they lay in cause they have no home or even a bed. And to top it all off they are in the middle of a cival war and you are worried about yourself??? You are in a great safe country and you are worried about yourself???? You are just unbeliveable! dude get over yourself

  • 'I made a song to honer the helpers of Africa and to give a glimp of their stress and thinking in the process. You can search for; "Africa and their helpers" and the song with the man with the child in his arms is the song i made. I hope you like it and it will stimulate you to do something for africa with your talent to.

  • Okay this is bad. But if you are eating regular abd have a little surplus it is not your fault. Food is not a natural resource it is raised. Food is a commodity that has value and is sold.

    Oil rich areas never are asked to "donate" oil to help anyone. There is a cost in oil and other resources to produce food. Cut oil to 20 dollars a barrel and the production cost of food would be so low there would be no starvation.

  • Um dia a mão de Deus cairá muinto pesada sobre as cabeças dos poderosos que deixam padecer o seu povo

  • that sad:(

  • point

  • this made me cry

  • There are Children is Europe who are suffering and Dying. Russia has around 10 to 20 million children in Orphanages who die everyday. I'm my self am a orphanage from Astrakhan.

  • @asebrookb learn all you can about the world, protect life, and leave it better then you found it

  • Semoga kita saling peduli.

  • This video makes me want to cry.....

  • people should like this vid cous it is trying to save them

  • It's a tragic situation, but it can be fixed. Videos like this help just create awareness. I just wrote about the famine in East Africa in my blog. I talk about the history behind it and I explain who can be blamed for many of the deaths. If interested go to my channel and clink on the link to my blog. (I would put the link here, but I think youtube doesn't allow URLs to be posted in comment sections.)

  • who wuld dilike this

  • @mm900ful You like pepole starving to death? Why would you like this?

  • @TheMidwestsk8ter They probably like it because it's helping people to be aware of what's happening in these kind of countries.

  • @mm900ful someone who has enough food...

  • سبحان الله نعوذ با لله من ذالك

    kasihan orang islam africa

    ibo roa tu homu baya

    الله اكبر للا فرقيا

  • entered a video contest and if I win I am sending the $2,000 to World Vision for famine relief. It's super easy, and will take about ten seconds. Vote and make a quick comment on the video once a day. It's a small way we can help over there! There's no excuse not to vote!

    search "lemishine" on facebook. go to contests on the page. mine is "Adventures in Traveling." Please vote and COMMENT to help them!

  • a helping hand is more helpful than a praying one

  • @TheMonkiAss Yes, but if you're unable to help then praying is just as good. :P

  • omg this is soo sad... :( i feel so sad right know...

  • people shouldn't be having kids if they know they cant care for them. how can they do that to a child and make them suffer

  • Naive brains do not know that these catastrophically horrendous tragedies are in advance systematically orchestrated/planned by those whose wish it is to continue to ransack/enslave Africa for what you know what.their frantic patchwork mindset revolves around a constant ME!ME!ME! behaviour-without ever having to do a necessary self analysis of their permanently chaotic action.this is a NO MERCY poisonous salad of GREED and psychopatically agressive behavior intentionally marinated and force

  • y cant all the millionaires and billionaires donate some of their money to help this ppl. where are they gonna take their money when they die.. very sad....

  • its sad how badly the birth place of humans is being treated we need to keep our race alive by helping our real home.

  • each one of us, eating and having a surplus, is unfair to our brothers and sisters .

  • This is an opportunity to love and feel good for once in our lives. 

  • And the Bankers in America give themselves 50 million dollar bonuses. They should be ashamed of themselves...They should give money to the African People today instead of buying homes in the Hamptons....Stock brokers are crooks also

  • @ChrisTheHobbyGuy agreed!

  • ...!! :-(

  • I was having a hard time to breathe while watching this video.. It just hurts me so much... A lot... God, heal Your children. Never leave them.

  • it is all so sad...never take anything for granted

  • for one day dont eat ice cream and give the money for o good purpose...dont let any child to die again...please...they need our help...

    (sorry for my english)

  • In the past 3 years, private hedgefunds have bought up more agriculture land in Africa, more than the entire stand of California. Corruption and greed is the problem, they're starving the Africans. You have the ordasity to ask ordinary people for help ? Go beg the hedgefunds who bought the land. (source: google about it)

  • God Bless everyone of those ppl

  • @Sloth451 God doesn't exist. We have to help each other.

  • meanwhile in america.......

  • Justicia por diosssssssss !!!!!!

  • We can all do something! Please show your love. I've added this to my channel, if you have an org that I can add to my channel, please let me know! Love Life. Give Life, by helping those who need the help. Love you all.

  • Sorry, but I only help my own country. Don't get me wrong, I feel bad for the kids but there are kids here that need my help too.

  • @idlemindkiller  Do you often astound yourself with your own stupidity? What a limited world view.

  • Somalia is a disaster.

    How many of these famines are there? I remember being a little child and seeing Somali children starving to death.

    2011 and nothing has changed.

    Are you going to give them aid so they can suffer more or are you going to give them aid so that something radical changes.

    

  • this is where the god forgot

  • FAT americans can go buy 100 cheeseburgers for only a dollar each damn near around every corner and we have fellow humans across the globe starving for a portion of food.. blows my mind! Let us all pray for the rejuvination of the world. peacefully.

  • hate to break it to you people, but this is not a food shortage crisis, it is a political one. feed these people for 10 years, hypothetically, and then what? another famined generation right behind them lying in wait. this is africa. a land of corruption, murder, rape, genocide and ethnic cleansing. you want to change it, you do it looking down the barrel of a rifle. otherwise, the continent is doomed. shit, it already is.

  • this what the war brings more hunger more poverty more disasters in the world , hopefully many will be saved hopefully....

  • My brothers and sisters... This is only the beginning, I ASK U... Please change your lives. Only when we learn to love ourselves as well as each other is when we will find reason for life. There is a evolutionary shift taking place @ this moment. A war is being fought, but from within each of us. There Lord has given us so many chances to change and the time is almost over. Repent and forgive. Confusion is the source to all evil. Open your eyes this is no coincidence.

  • Sending aid wont solve the problem. We've been sending aid for 30 years yet things havent gotten any better

  • africa is starving while americans are getting obese

  • Hey guys, I have an organization running to help aid those in Africa. I know how hard it is with them scrambling for food and water. It's a full blown catastrophe. Check out my channel to join my organization.

  • ]:

  • we should think of who caused this situation.

  • this world needs to end

  • dear god how much money do they need?

  • Dang it.. we have the technology to save them... the banks dont want to invest... its the ultimate hood of the world..

  • It's funny how people who gets their food from a can want to teach how to fish.

  • Americans wont go back there ... Don't get me wrong. ... they need help, but they hate us. and proved it with death

  • =,,,,,,,,,(

  • I like how the Thumbnail has a child; whats more important than food is a little education. They are constantly making babies despite their harsh conditions and expecting western countries to support their babies. Yes I do feel bad for these people, but people need to stop making babies when they cant afford food themselves, not only that they are putting those babies through hell.

  • They should know there situations and get help from other countries and we should start donating to them .

  • this is all our doings btw, i mean EU and US. or more correctly our rulers.

  • Maybe the people of Africa should ban together, and take out the regime that is controlling the country.

  • @SipNGrip420 Well meaning people donate millions, then different factions in Africa fight over the aid money, causing most of the starvation and misery. It's been going on for decades. Quit sending money, which many honest African leaders have requested, and most of their problems would be solved. That, and make the Catholic church quit meddling in denying birth control which would help stop the spread of AIDS, and lower the population strain on the environment.

  • The Horn of Africa's children need our help.

  • Unless the corrupt higher ups change, whatever we do might not be of much real help to them.

  • where is the united nations!

  • i really feel for them but they need to get their population under control before donations can really even touch them

  • so this is Christmas...

  • Hasn't Africa always had a food problem? I mean honestly, has there really ever been a time where Africa didn't need donating?

  • I DID THIS FOR Halloween

  • they should try population control so there's less mouths to feed

  • remember, by donating you are helping yourself to purify your greed from your heart, so instead calling it donating, say you are trading food with purity and love.

  • We must first take care of our hungry, poor, abused, forgotten, very down on their luck people. Then when this is done, then we can focus on other countries.

    Why was the "Like" and "Dislike" disable? People should be able state if they like the video or not.

  • If only based on showing the suffering and not do something to help this situation will get worse ... IF WE BELIEVE THAT THE U.S., NO MATTER THE PLACE OF ORIGIN can help give me love

  • Si solo se basan en mostrar el sufrimiento y no en hacer algo por ayudarlos esta situación va a empeorar...SI SOMOS DE LOS QUE CREEMOS QUE UNIDOS, NO IMPORTA EL LUGAR DE ORIGEN podemos ayudar dale me gusta

  • Allahu Akbar

    may Allah help them

  • T_T

  • show us the real Africa and i will donate

  • @writersblockcorp What more do u wanna see? Ur too heartless to help people starving ?! .... how big of u! -_-'

  • @writersblockcorp Africa is just the continent, They are talking about Somalia. Somalia is its own country, and they are talking about constant civil war and famine.. This isn't real? It doesn't get more real than this brother.

  • @writersblockcorp it d be better if u said nthin !

  • Think twice when you toss food in the garbage, and be thanful all the time...

  • @melysn so by eating all of my food i am helping this cause? no. im going to get overweight. im going to be spending thousands and thousands of money on diet pills and all that crap. im going to be spending more money buying more food to "fill" myself.

    all that is money wasted that COULD have gone to this cause. just because i ate the last bite of a sandwich rather than throw it away does not mean it feeds others.

  • @melysn

    think twice when your country (not personal) spent billions money for wars, for killing people just because they want to rule the world... SAY DOWN WITH IMPERIALISM!!!!

  • just donating money and food doesn't help them. It's all temporary measurement. They need long term solutions. The west needs to invest in countries like Somalia 

  • @pedi007 thats only half the truth. ti think the long term projects probably already started, but since they are long termed and need to build up they are not effective enough to cope with a sudden(even more) massive famine; so they started an additional temporary project to keep most alive

    at least thats what i think, most other things would be ineffective and therefore senseless

  • @pedi007 they tried... africa wanted there independence 

  • get ten of the most : wise, capible, intellectual, influental, persons to come together . Create the greatest advisory board to set forth ideas to action. The force of the best and brightest to solve these great problems of the world. The right ten would have the plan to solve this famin in one day. Let us all just forget our, pride, our vanity, the status, to do what destiny delayed would have us do.

  • that's what happens when imperial countries interfere in poor countries politics and give them weapons instead of help, and incites them to fight each other. that's what the UN is doing in the world, spreading disaster, and putting Economic embargoes on poor countries and fighting any one helping them. billions spent on entertainment instead of human well being, billions spent on weapons, and billions on invading countries killing it's populations and steeling their goods.

    may allah help them

  • So sad lord bless these people in their time of need.

  • Please if i can do any thing to help I will... am not rich, in fact I am poor!!! But I would give all I have and that is my life for these people!!

  • There's this quote saying

    Give a man a fish and he's fed for a day

    Teach a man how to fish he's fed for his whole entire life

    so why not teach them how to be productive rather than giving them consumables?

  • May Allah be with them, currently going through the month of Ramadan we just get to taste and feel a glimpse of what these poor people go through, I wish I could donate all I have to them :(

  • @amandae1100

    Then do it instead of just saying it.

  • @amandae1100 Then donate all you have to them.

  • justice: More peace.

  • :(

  • Africans should be helped by other Africans.

  • @WhiteStar11111

    that's just selfish.

  • @WhiteStar11111 all of africa is having poverty issues. How about you get off your lazy ass and do something?

  • @WhiteStar11111 Humans must be helped by other humans !

  • @plung3r Amen, thankyou for having a heart :) ---an African Missionary

  • @plung3r no, humans must first help themselves before others can help them.

  • @WhiteStar11111 How is Africa supposed to help themselves when most of the country is in poverty and have little to nothing?

  • @WhiteStar11111 Seriously, children and adults (who are human) are dying and you make this about "Africans should be helped by other Africans"? So what!! We are all human and as such, we should help each other. I am glad I am donating to causes like this..I guess, when you are in trouble, you should be aid by your own people!

  • @WhiteStar11111 Dislike.

  • Isaiah 12:3 The Bible tells us what to do@ "In that day.,, they will dig wells.." drought causes famine Water is what they so DIG WELLS

  • People out there got billion and millions well others are hungry.

  • We normal people can help a little but why don't the BIG companies help like Blizzard ,KFC ,Mc.Donalnds.No they won't help let the normal people pay with 2$!While there are people that are so rich they don't even need money.

  • @nananina982 because giving them doesn't solve the problem - it should be teaching them how to be productive is the key.

  • prayers won't help- you should better start donating

  • @ToastbrotTour Prayers DO help, but need donating too!

  • @ToastbrotTour TOOOO TRUE!

  • @ToastbrotTour how much did you donate?

  • @meni712, that would be generous of us. Except for the fact that everyone in this country is so worried about these other countries, that we throw all of our money away to them, while half of OUR country is starving and living on the streets!

  • No human should have to live,or try to live,like this

  • AZERBAIJAN has sent recently humanitarian help of Somalia, we will always help the starving, poor countries

  • well first of all guys, the whole of africa is not like this.. just to make that clear. only some parts of it are the once that are in deep trouble. I was born in kenya, and my uncle is a minister of kenya. I wish you guys could see how the government members are treated. Wish you could see how lazy they are... None of them are doing anything about the wars and hunger. In places like kenya, a persons voice doesn't count... Just PRAY.

  • *america

  • Mayb I'm naive or young or just too inexperienced in life to understand .To understand y I have to go deeper in my pockets while my country U.S.A. taxs me steels from their own pool of funds. Politicians not pay for anything including taxs at time. "Finding" millions by accident in the budget etc. Then countries like this have to suffer if their were more CHECK and BALANCE we could help em on a bigger scale. I make good money but checks away from bein homeless american is wealthy. Smh

  • No man has seen it, but all men know it. Lighter than air, sharper than any sword. Comes from nothing, but will fell the strongest armies.What am I?

  • These People Fight With All They Got To Get Just A Bit Of Food And Water, Yet People Out There In Other Parts Of The World Waste It. We Should All Be Grateful For What We Have. Whether It's A Drop Of Water Or A Crumb Of A Cracker, We Need To Be Grateful. Because A Cracker To The People In This Video, Is An Endless Feast To Us.

  • im randomly wearing a barcalona shirt lol, it has the UNICEF logo on in. Africa is the best! help Africa!

  • i would want to adopt a village when i grow up....god help me...

  • well if they have aids lets prevent more by giving them condoms.

  • How can we help? Every time we try and help the rebel gangs take all the food and kill whoever starts to fight!!! How about bringing some order into that country first!!? without order every other effort is USELESS!

  • argh, states are so selfish. It's us, the individuals, who must help them!

  • local gov.should settle problems

  • This is a petition:

    Youtube should allow us to see an original comment, when someone has replied to another user, because it can take minutes sometimes hours to find the original

    Thumbs up to sign the petition

  • I had a summer flew once so and just thinking about how bad that was makes me really feel sorry for those people considering their problems

  • @meni172

    Ok just by sending food and supplies won't solve this problem...it might be a temporary solution but it wont be the final solution...

  • I have no words that can describe the feeling I get when I see this... What can we do?

  • looks like london

  • FAIL

    By "famine", they mean communist backed racists evicted farmers and then used the farm land for ... nothing whatsoever.

  • What really pisses me off is that no one gives a crap unless it's directly effecting them. -.-

  • The golden Rule:

    Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you. This is the essence of all that is taught in the law and the prophets. Matthew 7:12

    So people plz help families out there in Somalia your help as low as you think it is might save one kid!!!

  • It's sad but no matter what aid comes to places like this if there is no stability in the governt an such like he was saying conditions will never improve

  • THEY NEED RAIN AND GOOD SOIL!!!

  • Please check out our Horn of Africa Relief Video 2011, please like and favorite this video to help viewers to help save lives through donations! Thumbs up this comment so more can see! Thanks!

  • its sad i just dont understand why this happens to africa more often than other poor countries

  • My prayers are with them also, and I will be doing whatever I can to help

  • With all the declarations of evil and of help to be sent to them....

    To those of you who've made those declarations.....

    What have you done?

  • Im so sad .. Alhamdo lelah

  • why can't africans help themselves? with a continent literally richer in resources that the rest of the world combined?

  • This is what it is like there. That's it. You can sent them billions of dollars and billions of tons of food. The problem is that doesn't solve the problems. What will they do tomorrow or next month. Will they be able to support themselves then? If sand and rocks ever become valuable these people will be fine, til then there will always be starving people in the Horn.

  • The corn that normally comes from the U.S. to help feed these people is being used to make Ethanol. The process to make Ethanol from corn is not efficient and their for not profitable. That is why the U.S. government uses your tax money to subsidize the industry. Isn't that just lovely. So our government ( screaming that it does not have enough money) uses your tax money to support a failed industry while at the same time contribute to the starvation of millions. It's just lovely! :-(

  • Nice. Just hold a $5,000 camera infront of them while they suffer. All my prayers go out to them.

  • This is so much BS. This event is a disgrace to humanity. In the final analyses it just doesn't matter that we have 725 military bases around the world while millions of our brothers starve. Do you see the Irony? If anyone really cared about spreading Democracy Africa would be a good start. The weak and poor countries are ripe for Communism. Then when Communism makes a go at it, we bomb them. It's just lovely! Why are we driven by $ rather than The Consitution and compassion?

  • .These people they need urgent help food and Water. Please’I do hope that you wil post this video to all of your friends may be our voices will be heard and we all can help.

  • .These people crying will not help they need urgent help food and Water. Please’I do hope that you wil post this video to all of your friends may be our voices will be heard

  • My God...why....My country has so much, yet we are complaining about issues that has no comparison to countries like this.. We should really be more tolerant and stop so much greed.. God help these people.

  • the even sadder part is when they are sent food the warlords take it from them to buy guns and the cycle continues.

  • Funny how it rains in America everyday and we complain about it...

  • This went on a playlist on my I pod by by itself and now It won't let me delete it.

  • This is really sad..wanna adop 1 kid

  • It's not like it happen everyday. It the worse drought in 60 year. If enough corporation see this situation as an opportunity to do something good, than we would be able to handle this situation fast.

  • May god have mercy on the soul's of these innocent children, keep them in your thoughts and prayers. For all you heartless, inhumane animals posting pure hate comments I hope one day your eyes and heart will finally open up to excepting all of god's children because one day you never know what can happen to you.

    To help UNICEF's efforts, text "FOOD" to 864233 to donate $10 from the United States.

  • Given the conditions, this area is overpopulated. Each and every nation needs to provide for its own needs. Globalization is not the answer.

  • send the rioters in england to somalia and let them complain about injustice over there

  • Honestly, ppl u r going to put urselves on a pedastal & say racism, slavery & birth control issues should matter,These ppl had lives, made decisions & struggled like the majority of us do. Every1 is quilty of overpopulating & just because one has the means doesn't mean they should do as they please, right? All ppl need the same to survive. If famine hits us it could be U watching ur children die! CONSCIENCE should KICK IN! No matter what beliefs one has. It's WRONG to GLORY in this!!

  • Show what Africa is really like and i will donate

  • 38 million?!!! i cant even imagine

  • This is very sad.

  • Poor them!!Someone needs to help them! :( :(
