|
Drought |
Kenya |
Due to the poor performance of the long rains between the months of March and May 2014 in the Arid and Semi-Arid Lands in Kenya, the drought situation has continued to affect both pastoral and marginal agriculture livelihood zones (the North Western, Northern, North Eastern, South Eastern and parts of Coast). The drought situation is affecting households' food availability as well as livestock productivity. The situation has continued to worsen due to the increase in food prices which has continually eroded household purchasing power driven by increase in fuel costs, and general inflation. Through the launch of this appeal, IFRC will support the Kenya Red Cross Society to assist 649,175 persons affected by the drought situation for a period of 9 months. |
