WFP sounds alarm on possible famine in Africa – Roya News English

The United Nations on Tuesday warned of a possible famine that could affect more than 13 million people in Somalia, Ethiopia, and Kenya due to record drought.

The World Food Program (WFP) said that no rain occurred in the past three years, while Africa recorded its worst drought since 1981.

The drought forced families living in rural areas to abandon their homes as farm animals are dying in unprecedented numbers, due to the severe impact on crops.
