East Arica has been hit by one o the

worst droughts in 60 years. Reugees

are feeing the dry areas o Northern Ke-

nya, Ethiopia, and Somalia and heading

south in search o ood. However, even

the neighboring countries have experi-

enced repeated severe droughts in the

last ew years that have depleted ood

stores. As a result, the prices o basic

ood items like maize, rice, and cassava

have risen sharply and vulnerable peo-

ple are acing a crisis.
