37 million people in the Horn of Africa need urgent humanitarian aid - healthcare, food, water supplies, and lifesaving information in the right language. Data shows language barriers compound the exclusion of marginalized minority groups from aid efforts. CLEAR Global and REACH ask humanitarians to learn from these findings to offer a more effective response for affected people.
