On three continents UN agencies rush aid to hundreds of thousands of flood victims
The United Nations today stepped up aid to hundreds of thousands of flood victims on three continents, launching a $9.2 million flash appeal for 350,000 Bolivians, rushing in health care and $7.6 million in emergency funding for 142,000 Mozambicans, and sending food for 6,000 families in the Philippines, where an earlier $48.7 million appeal has barely been funded.
