Large parts of East Africa are facing the world's worst food crisis.
Across the region Oxfam's humanitarian response is aiming to reach approximately three million people. The situation Drought is worsening across the Horn of Africa, following successive failed rains.
The late 2010 rainy season failed completely in many parts of Somalia, Ethiopia and Kenya, and now the April-May rains have also performed well below average.
Parts of northeast Kenya have received just 10% of the usual level of rainfall. The price of staple foods has risen to unaffordable levels for many people, and weak animals and the collapse of livestock markets have reduced people's income and ability to buy essentials. Hundreds of thousands of animals people's main assets have reportedly died.
"Two successive poor rains, entrenched poverty and lack of investment in affected areas have pushed 12 million people into a fight for survival"
Help relieve over 12 Million people from the worst famine in 60 years
