Car drivers in the UK will pay up to £2 billion more on the forecourt in 2020 if the government decides to increase the proportion of biofuels in petrol, ActionAid UK and Friends of the Earth warn today.

ActionAid is disappointed that the government has decided to delay a law which would require the UK to spend at least 0.7% of Gross National Income (GNI) on development aid from 2013 onwards.

ActionAid is responding to fierce storms which have killed 25 people and left tens of thousands homeless.

The worst flooding for decades has affected up to seven million people in Thailand and Cambodia, and more than five months on, people are still relying on emergency relief from charities such as ActionAid.

Two years on from the devastating earthquake of 12 January 2010, ActionAid Haiti's response continues, helping the most vulnerable to rebuild their shattered lives.

Two years ago, in the aftermath of the earthquake, Paul Murray decided to sponsor a little girl in Haiti. As a sixtieth birthday present to himself, he decided to go out and meet her.

Marking two years since Haiti’s devastating earthquake which killed around 220,000 and left 1.5 million people homeless, 7,500 people will next week march through the centre of Port au Prince to demand access to land and adequate housing.
