The United Nations on Tuesday cautioned that\u00a0twenty million people could be at risk of starvation this year as delayed rains worsened an already brutal drought in Kenya, Somalia, and Ethiopia.<\/p>\n

Recall that a\u00a0months-long drought had left the Horn of Africa on the verge of a humanitarian catastrophe, destroying crops and livestock and forcing huge numbers of people to leave their homes in search of food and water.<\/p>\n

As long-awaited rains failed to materialise nearly a month into the current rainy season, \u201cthe number of hungry people due to drought could spiral from the currently estimated 14 million to 20 million through 2022,\u201d the United Nations<\/a> World Food Programme said.<\/p>\n

The WFP said that, if current conditions prevailed, six million Somalis, or 40 percent of the population would be facing extreme levels of food insecurity and there would be a very real risk of famine in the coming months.<\/p>\n

In Kenya, half a million people were on the brink of a hunger crisis, with communities in the north of the country, especially at risk due to their reliance on livestock.<\/p>\n

The number of Kenyans in need of assistance had risen more than fourfold in less than two years, the agency noted.<\/p>\n

Malnutrition rates in drought-hit southern and southeastern Ethiopia had surged above emergency thresholds, while the north of the country had been in the grip of a 17-month war between government forces and Tigrayan rebels.<\/p>\n

\u201cParts of the drought-hit Horn of Africa region were already reeling from the effects of ongoing conflict, poverty, and a locust invasion,\u201d the UN\u2019s Food and Agriculture Organization also said on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe must act now if we want to prevent a humanitarian catastrophe,\u201d FAO\u2019s representative to the African Union, Chimimba David Phiri, told a UN briefing in Geneva.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe dire conditions had been exacerbated by the conflict in Ukraine, which had contributed to soaring food and fuel costs and disrupted global supply chains,\u201d the WFP said.<\/p>\n

The agency warned that a lack of funding could spell disaster, calling for $473 million (438 million euros) over the next six months.<\/p>\n

Experts, however, have said that extreme weather events are happening with increased frequency and intensity due to climate change.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
