Millions starve in Kenya due to drought

Since the beginning of this year Kenya hit world headlines as 10 million of its citizens were said to be facing hunger which has now turned to a bitter reality. More millions have been forced to go without meals for days as long as well as short rains have failed. The government has been forced to beg for more donor support as it tightens its belt on spending to save more for food to feed millions of starving Kenyans. Kenyans are bracing hard times as water and power outages continue to bite. The drought currently facing the country has reduced food, electricity and water production, forcing the government to launch a Sh24 billion emergency plan to deal with the crises. As per current projections, the countrys crop production will be severely hit with maize harvest dropping to 20 million bags against an annual consumption of 33 million bags. However its very unfortunate that the government runs donors at the eleventh hour when things are getting out of hand, there were serious indicators that the country could experience hunger with the rainfall failure last year and even this year.
