Clooney supports anti-poverty campaign

Irish Sun (IANS) Wednesday 5th October, 2011

Actor George Clooney is supporting a charity campaign that aims to end the famine in Somalia which has possibly killed over 30,000 children in the last three months.

According to Femalefirst.co.uk, Clooney will appear in a new Public Service Announcement (PSA) clip for anti-poverty charity ONE owned by Paul David Hewson better known as Bono.

'More than 30,000 children have died in just three months. Mothers are forced to decide who to feed and who to let die. In 2011? That's obscene,' Bono said in a statement.

'This is complicated, no one's pretending it's easy -- Somalia has been without a functioning government for 20 years -- but droughts don't have to result in famine, just look at Ethiopia and Kenya which have preventative policies in place,' Bono added.
