Over 2 Million Kenyans At Risk Of Starvation

Animal carcasses littered the fields and stench of dead animals pervaded the air in Kenya’s Marsabit County on Wednesday (February 1), the result of a prolonged period of drought which destructed forage for animals and made local population dependent on handouts to survive.

People in more than half of Kenya’s 42 counties face starvation due the cycle of famine related deaths brought about by ongoing drought that has seen an estimated 1.3 million Kenyans acutely food insecure and in need of assistance.
