Horn of Africa 350,000 children facing starvation

A person dies every 48 seconds in East Africa

Almost half a million people in the Horn of Africa are facing famine-like conditions, with one person dying every 48 seconds, according to a new report.

After little to no rain for three entire seasons, hunger in Somalia, Kenya and the rest of East Africa is higher than has been for thirty years. Devastating losses to crops and livestock have caused an unimaginable increase in hunger levels, with a staggering 55% increase in severely malnourished children being admitted into clinics.

The worst hunger levels in three decades are a culmination of cyclical droughts, conflict, climate shocks, rising food prices, and national debt. There is no end in sight as the nation continues to await the mercy of rain.
