Thomas-Greenfield said the stakes were high, as the UN urgently appealed for more than $200m to scale up its response. The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) analysis concluded that more than 350,000 people were in Catastrophe. All article data is taken from the source: https://www.aljazeera.com/
