Thank you to everyone who has taken our east Africa action in the last few days, calling for an extra $800m in aid and long-term support to protect against further crises.
This action is now closed.
Nearly 1,800 of you called on France, as president of the G20, to lead a strong global response to the east Africa food crisis.
We have been in contact with the French embassy and they have expressed your concerns to the government of France.

We'll update you soon about the outcome of today's meeting.
