"This morning I met a team of chiefs from Lopit villages. They expressed their greatest fears of severe hunger that probably has never been seen before. The Paramount chief, Mr. Salvatore said, 'Death is coming and we are dying.' He expressed the deep suffering of death from hunger. He also quoted other villages outside his own that are suffering. He stressed more on the suffering of the neighbouring villages....He said, if neighboring villages have some food, then there would be hope for survival, but at this particular moment, the suffering is general. No village around them has food or promising crops. Therefore, no one can save the other. 'Death is inevitable,' he said."

"To all men and women of good will, we appeal to you for your assistance....We have already lost some family members, can we together save the rest of the majority from the tragedy?"
