This year, drought struck the Horn of Africa.
Food prices soared. The effects have forced families across Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya and Somalia to leave everything behind in search of food and water, and put their health, safety and education at risk.
Food doesn't all of a sudden disappear. It's preceded by conditions like drought, conflict, rising food prices, leaving children already in grave danger when a country is on the brink of famine. As nutritious food scarcity increases, the number of children suffering from severe acute malnutrition — which can be fatal if left untreated — rises.
But there’s HOPE. UNICEF is equipped to counter severe acute malnutrition and your assistance makes it all the more possible.
