A party political broadcast...

0:00:090:00:12

..on behalf of The Conservative Party.

0:00:120:00:15

A sentence guaranteed to get you reaching for the remote.

0:00:150:00:19

Or escaping to the kitchen to brew a quick cuppa.

0:00:190:00:22

Because what normally happens...

0:00:220:00:23

is a man in a dark suit...

0:00:230:00:25

sitting behind a desk...

0:00:250:00:27

or standing behind a lectern...

0:00:270:00:30

or walking purposefully down an average-looking street...

0:00:300:00:33

reads a message off an Autocue...

0:00:330:00:36

that says the Opposition party's wrong about this...

0:00:360:00:38

or the Opposition leader doesn't have a clue about that.

0:00:380:00:42

To make our point, we might have a graph that goes this way.

0:00:420:00:46

Or we might have one that goes the other way.

0:00:460:00:50

-And we'll show clips of...

-real people...

-in the street...

0:00:500:00:53

-to show that everyone...

-agrees with us.

-Even builders.

0:00:530:00:56

But what does doing all that actually achieve?

0:00:560:01:00

Sure, we might convince a few people that we're right...

0:01:000:01:03

and the Opposition are wrong.

0:01:030:01:04

But you know, some things are more important than that.

0:01:040:01:07

Things like death, famine...

0:01:070:01:10

and one of the biggest humanitarian crises in a generation.

0:01:100:01:13

East Africa is experiencing its worst drought in 60 years.

0:01:130:01:17

More than 12 million people in Ethiopia, Kenya...

0:01:170:01:22

Somalia and South Sudan...

0:01:220:01:24

are in desperate need of food, water and emergency healthcare.

0:01:240:01:27

They've lost their crops, their livestock and their homes.

0:01:270:01:31

They're being forced to take shelter in refugee camps...

0:01:310:01:35

bigger than cities like Cardiff and Leicester.

0:01:350:01:37

Every six minutes, a child dies of starvation.

0:01:370:01:41

Every SIX minutes.

0:01:410:01:43

Every six minutes.

0:01:430:01:46

Every six minutes.

0:01:460:01:49

Urgent action is needed to prevent even more people dying.

0:01:490:01:53

The British Government has given over £120 million of aid,

0:01:530:01:57

which will provide emergency assistance

0:01:570:02:00

to more than 3 million people.

0:02:000:02:02

But far more is needed.

0:02:020:02:04

Everyone in this party political broadcast...

0:02:040:02:07

has made a donation to the East Africa Appeal.

0:02:070:02:10

And they're not the only ones.

0:02:100:02:12

Hundreds of thousands of people across Britain have given generously

0:02:120:02:15

to the East Africa Appeal.

0:02:150:02:17

And their donations have allowed charities to provide effective aid

0:02:170:02:21

to many in the region.

0:02:210:02:22

But more resources are still needed.

0:02:220:02:25

More resources to provide vital food, water and medical supplies

0:02:250:02:30

to the millions of people affected by this devastating drought.

0:02:300:02:35

So, please, go online and support the East Africa Appeal today.

0:02:350:02:40

The people of East Africa desperately need your help.
