East Africa is facing its worst drought in years, Christian Aid reports. The countries that are in dire need of immediate food aid are Kenya, Somalia, Ethiopia, Tanzania and Djibouti.
As the United Nations announced that 11 million people are at risk in East Africa, Christian Aid launched an emergency appeal for the region.
Dominic Nutt, Christian Aid’s emergencies specialist and first hand witness to the food crisis, reports seeing people begging for water by the side of the road and children walking for miles in search of something to drink. Because of the dire security situation in Somalia, very few accounts of the suffering there are reaching Britain, and the aid operation in Somalia is particularly dangerous.
