Juni 2017, während einer Nahrungsmittelverteilung in Yaa Sharbana im Norden Kenias. In Kenia haben mittlerweile 2,6 Millionen Menschen nicht genügend Nahrung und sind somit auf humanitäre Hilfe angewiesen. Diese Zahl könnte bis Juli 2017 auf 4 Millionen Menschen steigen. Vor allem die nördlich gelegenen ariden und semiariden Zonen sind stark betroffen. 465.000 Kinder sind zudem unterernährt. (!!!ACHTUNG SPERRFRIST BIS SONNTAG 25.
