Catherine Bertini People Quotations

We're appealing to donors to come through very quickly now with additional resources, because floods are not something that we can work on a few weeks later when bureaucracies are done making decisions ... we have to help people today.

More and more people are at risk because the rains have not come. We will be coming back in the next few weeks with additional requests. We do not know how much more will be requested, it needs to be further assessed ... but I expect it will be more than 100,000 tons.

These assessments continue to show us that even if there's a relatively good harvest, there is not enough food in the country to sustain all the people who need food.

Even with a relatively good harvest there is not enough food in the country to sustain all the people who need it.

It's very good news, because our interest -- all of our interests -- are to help people go home.
