WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The World Bank said on Saturday it was boosting funding for a "worsening" Horn of Africa famine to $1.88 billion from around $500 million.
World Bank President Robert Zoellick said the funds would help fill a $1 billion financing gap needed to tackle the famine engulfing Horn of Africa countries Somalia, Kenya, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Djibouti and Uganda.
