Like its neighbours in the horn of Africa, Kenya is experiencing extreme drought conditions. Some 3.5 million people are suffering from starvation.
The worst drought in over 40 years has affected over 20 million people on the horn of Africa.
Crops and food supplies have been ruined following delayed rains, for the fourth successive year.

Aid services are working to help affected citizens, as this situation looks set to worsen in the coming weeks.
