The humanitarian funding to the Sahel is being increased by the European Commission by 40 million euros in a bid to prod a donors’ gathering in Brussels.

The proposed increase takes Commission funding to tackle the food crisis to 337 million euros ($425 million), just as experts anticipate a dangerous peak across the region where the EU says 18 million people are in danger from hunger.

"Right now people across the Sahel are starting to scrape the bottom of empty grain stores," EU aid commissioner Kristalina Georgieva said in a statement.
