French Vine and Snapchat star Jerome Jarre has nearly reached his goal of raising $1 million to fly food and aid to Somalia after just 19 hours thanks to the power of social media.

Joined by Ben Stiller and American YouTube star Casey Neistat, the Go Fund Me page has already raised $889,288 at the time of writing in less than 24 hours.

The drought in Somalia has caused an historic famine that is affecting at least 5 million people; in early March 110 people from the same region died within 48 hours according to the country’s prime minister.

After Jerome read about the famine he set up a movement called Love Army For Somalia with the hope that social media pressure may be able to convince Turkish Airlines, the only company to fly to the African country, to use one flight to send a shipment of aid and food, ‘providing immediate relief for immediate need’.
