Band Aid stereotypes of Africa are no longer moving the British public and leaving people on the continent starving, Oxfam has warned.

Oxfam stressed the majority of people have become desensitised to images depicting issues such as hunger, drought and disease.Band Aid stereotypes of Africa are no longer moving the British public and leaving people on the continent starving, Oxfam has warned.
