Kenya drought crisis deepens placing millions at risk of starvation, Maalimin, KE - 02 Dec 2022
Water has run dry in the Kenyan town of Maalimin and despite repeated appeals from NGOs, the worst drought in 40 years continues to spread across the Horn of Africa, leaving a trail of barren soil and famine. The lack of water has killed all Zainab Mohammud's goats. She had raised around 50 animals and would sell them at a local market. The 32-year-old never made much money and used her profits to buy food or pay for the school fees of her six children. It was a humble life she misses now that she has nothing.
