Each kit will provide life-saving supplies to over 1000 people. The Duke and Duchess and the Crown Prince and Princess then toured the warehouse, seeing the huge variety of supplies that are sent to emergencies around the world, including ready-to-use therapeutic food for severely malnourished children under five years old and supplementary food to support-families, emergency health kits, vaccines and water supplies including water purification tablets.

在当地下午2时半，UNICEF供应部主任Shanelle Hall女士亲自迎接甫抵位于哥本哈根自由港的UNICEF全球物流中心的威廉王子及凯瑟琳王妃。威廉公爵伉俪在丹麦皇室伉俪的陪同下，展开了歷时一整天的考察。 Amanda Kofoed及Maryam Abdullah两名年仅10岁大的UNICEF员工子女，更双双向凯瑟琳王妃及丹麦王妃送上花束，以示欢迎。

UNICEF索马里营养专员Peter Hailey先生随即争取时间，向两对皇室伉俪讲解现时东非的严峻灾情。他坦言，现时在灾区有无数儿童及其家庭，不时徒步25天，方寻得一夕温饱等，情况实在苦不堪言。

了解过灾区情况后，他们便前往视察包装流程，了解运送救援物资到东非前的准备工作。4名负责包装的员工向他们展示並介绍各种医疗物资，包括一些必需的药物及紧急手术工具等的包装过程，两对皇室伉俪更亲自参与包装工序，与UNICEF员工一起将紧急健康包入箱，每箱紧急健康包可为逾1,000人送上拯救生命的物资。

其后，英国及丹麦皇室伉俪再一同参观仓库，考察林林种种即将送抵世界各地的救援物资，当中包括专为治疗5岁以下严重营养不良儿童而设的即食医疗食品、为有需要家庭提供的补充食品、紧急健康包、疫苗及净水丸等物资。

参观完毕后，威廉王子指出：「全球物流中心内的物资数量惊人，可见UNICEF的救援准备工作相当完备。可是现时仍有很多人急需救助，需要做的工作仍然有很多，而这正正是我们今日来到这里的原因。」

凯瑟琳王妃进一步补充此行的原因说：「我们很希望可以将公众的焦点，再一次放回东非的灾情。」威廉王子接着作出深情唿吁：「只要是做得到、帮得到的，大家就请伸出援手。」

离开全球物流中心后，威廉公爵伉俪再转到哥本哈根机场，亲眼目睹一批准备运往肯尼亚首都奈洛比的物资，上载到英国航空及UPS货运航机的情况。

自10月26日两对皇室伉俪宣佈造访UNICEF全球物流中心起，各界对是次赈灾捐款的唿吁反应非常热烈。供应部主任Shanelle Hall女士表示：「我们很高兴英国皇室、剑桥公爵威廉王子及公爵夫人凯瑟琳王妃，以及丹麦皇室伉俪来到视察全球物流中心，深入了解整个救援物资的运送流程与规模，以及体会这些物资对营养不良的儿童及其家庭是何等重要。他们此行已成功唤起全球各地对东非目前灾况的关注，帮助我们筹集得更多的物资，继续支援灾区的救援行动。」

本年，UNICEF仍需善款港币3亿1,200万元（即4,000万美元），以拯救仍然处于水深火热之中的东非受灾儿童。而来年的善款需求则达到逾港币31亿4,000万元（即4亿280万美元），当中约港币23亿4,000万元（即3亿美元）将用以稳定UNICEF索马里办事处的医疗及补充餵饲的供应。

UNICEF的东非救援工作重点：

• UNICEF为灾区内的高蛋白花生酱主要供应者，並与各合作伙伴确保物资成功送到待救儿童的手中。

• 由7至10月，位于哥本哈根的UNICEF全球物流中心已将逾24,396公吨救援物资送抵灾区。

• UNICEF亦透过补充餵饲中心治疗了108,000名严重营养不良的儿童，並为120万名儿童注射麻疹疫苗，及为220万人供应安全食水。请即支持东非救援行动，浏览：www.eastafricacrisis.org
