(SBU) After considerable internal deliberation, Denmark has
decided to allocate 50 million Danish Kroner (DKK; not quite
USD10 million) for the humanitarian crisis in the Horn of
Africa (reftel), half each to UNICEF and WFP. These are new
funds in addition to any other contributions provided for WFP
and UNICEF this year. The country allocations are as follows:
- Somalia 21 million DKK (approx. USD4 million)
- Ethiopia 14 million DKK (not quite USD3 million)
- Kenya 10 million DKK (not quite USD2 million)
- Southern Sudan 5 million DKK (not quite USD1 million).
