Power of humanity
The International Federation 's collective mission 'to improve the lives of vulnerable people by mobilising the power of humanity ' is an ambitious goal, but one rarely more needed than now. The tragic events over the latter months of 2001 have shown how much the world requires a global, neutral, unified and able humanitarian organisation such as the Red Cross and Red Crescent. Fear and uncertainty grip our world, as they have not done for many decades. Labels of nationality, ethnicity and religion appear to be becoming more important in the minds of many.

Rome, June 2001
Highlights

World cereal stocks will be drawn down again in 2001/02. Although latest indications continue to point to a larger cereal crop in 2001, output would be insufficient to meet global utilization for the third year in succession, leading to a further reduction in cereal stocks by the conclusion of crop seasons ending in 2002.

World cereal output in 2001 is forecast at 1 878 million tonnes, (including rice in milled terms), 1.3 percent above 2000. Output of wheat is forecast at 577 million tonnes, 10 percent

There will be little respite for these families before the next monsoon season so time is of the essence as rehabilitation activities get underway. Food security, disaster preparedness and safe
