- Somalia Alert
- InterAction, a coalition of 135 U.S.-based private voluntary
- organizations working on international humanitarian issues, is now
- on PeaceNet. We believe that people interested in supporting the
- relief effort in Somalia should be aware of the work of relief
- agencies to help the Somali people. Therefore, we are including
- the following list of our member agencies working to mitigate the
- Somali tragedy.
-
- We also encourage people to write letters to local and national
- media urging them to keep covering the suffering in Somalia.
- Don't let this drop off your front page!
