Abstract

Reports about The Horn of Africa Famine Crisis in 2011 flooded our news bulletins and newspapers. Yet the nations of the world failed to respond and alleviate the unfolding disaster. In August 2011, the Gift of the Givers Foundation mobilised what was to become the largest humanitarian mission ever conducted by an African organisation. Almost a year later, the effort continues, changing the face of disaster medicine as we know it.

摘要

2011 年有关“非洲之角饥荒危机”的报道充斥着我们的新闻头条和报纸。然而，世界各国未能做出回应，也未能缓解这场正在发生的灾难。2011 年 8 月，“恩赐之源基金会”（Gift of the Givers Foundation）发起了一场行动，这是非洲组织有史以来开展的最大规模的人道主义任务。将近一年后，这项工作仍在继续，改变了我们所知道的灾难医学的面貌。
