Kenya: Christians facing
starvation
Barnabas Fund
Four rainy seasons in a row have failed in
northern Kenya, making the drought the
worst since 1981 and declared a national
disaster by the Kenyan Government.
Water is increasingly hard to find, cattle
are dying and even camels are struggling to
survive. Half a million Kenyans are at risk
of starvation, according to the World Food
Programme. Meanwhile, prolonged hunger
and malnutrition have made people prone
to diseases, their weakened bodies unable to
resist infections. In this Muslim-dominated
part of Kenya, Christians are usually left out
when government food relief is distributed.
