News | Africa - Reuters.com: "LONDON (Reuters) - The number of people living 'on the edge of emergency' in Africa has nearly doubled to 220 million in just two years, a leading charity said on Thursday.

CARE International said emergency aid to the impoverished and strife-ridden continent continued to arrive too late, was short-term and policies were targeted too heavily on saving lives rather than building resilience in the population."
