War on AIDS Needs Food, Aid Agencies Say
The five billion dollars earmarked
by US President George W. Bush to fight HIV/AIDS could be wasted if his
administration does not increase food aid resources, asserted the head of a
leading development organization.
Speaking at the Export Food Aid conference in Kansas City, run by the U.S.
Agency for International Development (USAID) and the U.S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA), Lelei LeLaulu, President of Counterpart International,
said a person living with AIDS "has to eat twice -- once for themselves and
once for the disease." If there was insufficient nutrition, he said, the
person could not strengthen their immune system sufficiently for the drugs to
work properly.
"The tragic irony of food shortage," said LeLaulu, "is new mothers in the
poorer countries are being treated for AIDS then sent home with just a week's
supply of milk. Once the milk supply runs out, they are faced with the
terrible prospect of breast feeding, and thereby transmitting the disease to
their new born child."
Meanwhile, he lamented, there were "small mountains of dried milk" stored
by the Department of Agriculture a short drive from the conference site in
downtown Kansas City.
The 17 development agencies of the Coalition for Food Aid called on the
U.S. Congress and President Bush to increase the level of food aid to US $2
billion dollars.
Well-implemented food aid, declared the coalition of America's leading
humanitarian agencies, has to accompany any successful HIV/AIDS initiative.
The United Nations World Food Programme, said LeLaulu, is calling for a global
outlay of US $3.8 billion of emergency food aid this year.
The Coalition for Food Aid includes CARE, Counterpart International,
Catholic Relief Services, Save The Children, ACDI/VOCA, AfriCare, ADRA, Mercy
Corps and World Vision.
