Drought in the Horn of Africa
12 May 2005, Dasheq - Women from a pastoralist community having their children checked for malnutrition at a feeding clinic set up by the NGO Merlin. Many complain that they are forced to give up nutritional supplements meant for their children to the whole family because they do not have enough food for everyone. There are around 15 million people at risk in the Horn of Africa of which more than 8 million have been identified as being in need of urgent emergency assistance. Though the rains have come problems facing pastoralists still persist after 3 years of drought resulting in severe stress, food insecurity, livestock deaths and high rates of malnutrition.
