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.
