Terrible losses for them.   What a sad situation.  I hope Kenya will get aid in sustaining them.

    I do not get it. Drought means no water,  so the answer to start with is finding , bringing, having water.  Don't tell me the world cannot figure out a way to get water to areas that are experiencing drought.  AND don't tell me the world cannot do anything to the Islamic militants blocking aid from getting to those that need it.  Man has learned how to fly. Man has also learned about the cycles of floods and droughts.  Man has developed a way to pipe the precious 'black gold' thousands of miles to refineries.  Man has also learned to desalinate seawater.   Clean water, food, medicine,,, plenty enough to go around,,,,, goodbye and goodriddance to those preventing these things from being shared.
