Millions face starvation

FOR ten years, GOAL has been assisting impoverished and vulnerable people in Angola, a country which has been utterly devastated by a civil war that began shortly after it gained its independence from Portugal in 1975.

Since the end of the civil war in April, large areas of the country have become accessible for the first time in decades and the true extent of the humanitarian crisis in the country has become clear.

A major catastrophe is taking place in Angola, half a million people face starvation and more than a million others are completely dependent on food aid for survival.
