Hundreds of thousands face hunger in Kenya
Drought in Kenya’s Northwest has left hundreds of thousands of people on the brink of starvation. The Kenyan government has yet to intervene, forcing residents to move to other counties in search of food.
More than 600,000 residents from West Pokot County are in urgent need of food aid after the region was hit by drought associated with the ongoing El Nino weather phenomena. The weather has dried up waterholes and rivers leading to widespread crop failure.
The Kenyan government had promised to release 50 million Kenya shillings ($5 million, 4.4 million euros) to be used to purchase food aid. Despite the pledge, the government is yet to release the funds forcing residents to move to other counties in search of food and water.
The drought started in February as many were preparing their farms for the planting season. In some areas there was insufficient rain which could not support vegetation. North and South Pokot are the worst hit areas. The areas have not seen a single drop of rain for months.
Local concerns
Residents have pleaded with the government to intervene. Residents fear for the worst if the government doesn't deliver on its promises. Joseph Korikumul is one of them. He said that the drought has not only affected people but also their animals. "The people of this area continue to suffer as they can't even get milk and food to eat," said Korikumul said, adding that, "our people are suffering a lot due to starvation."
Another resident, John Kipkurit, said that his farm has never been productive even after he tilled in preparation for the planting season. "People had plowed their farms since March, but now everything has dried up. As residents of this area we have a big problem," he said.
Hundreds of children in West Pokot are not attending school due to food shortages
In 2011, Kenya faced one of the worst droughts in history of the country which saw the government distribute relief food to more than 1.7 million people in the northern and eastern parts of the country.
Schools affected
At least two primary schools were reported closed in the county due to food shortages. Children have to walk more than 10 kilometers in search of water instead of being in class.
Korikumul said that the students have no food in their homes or at school. "If news spreads around that there is no food in schools, then the children are not eager to go to school," he said.
The deputy governor of West Pokot, Titus Lotee, is calling on the central government to step in and save the lives of the residents in his county. "The national government had promised to give us funds to avert hunger in this region. Unfortunately we have yet to receive any money," Lotee said. Only 4,000 bags of maize have been distributed to those in the most affected areas by the county government, barely enough to feed them for a week.
The UN has warned that about 36 million people across southern and eastern Africa are facing hunger following the unusually strong El Nino rains coupled with record-high temperatures afterwards.

Look at that report, It is talking about Northwestern Kenya (West Pokot) Do you see how easy one proves it vague?
This is how west pokot people looks like,
Do you expect Somalis to be in West Pokot??? Like what your story photo is showing???
This are not even Kenyan Somalis i can tell you! Bringing here such scrappy documentaries will not prove a point because we Kenyans are analytical to anything!! And this is totally nonsense! iF THEIR IS HUNGER IN KENYA WHY SHOULD THEY NOT USE TRUE PHOTOS?
IT IS UNBELIEVABLE FOR A COUNTRY THAT BOASTS AS BEING THE BREAD BASKET OF THE REGION.
It is difficult to believe that large quantities of people could go hungry in a country that relies heavily on agriculture to sustain its economy, but that’s exactly the case in Tanzania. Not only does agriculture account for a quarter of Tanzania’s GDP, but also approximately 75 percent of Tanzanians (most of whom are women) are employed by that sector. Yet nearly half of households don’t have access to adequate amounts of food, and Tanzania’s malnutrition levels are among the highest in Africa. Something isn’t adding up.
What is the problem? It isn’t that Tanzania is exporting all of its food, leaving its own people to starve. Tanzania is actually considered “food self-sufficient,” meaning that it makes most of the food its people need to live. The problem is poverty. Classified as a low-income country and ranked in the bottom fifth of countries in terms of human development, Tanzania simply hasn’t yet developed the infrastructure necessary to get the food from the fields into the hands of those who need it most.
The future is bright, though. Tanzania’s economy has been growing for several years and has the potential for continued growth. Targeted agricultural infrastructure investments could radically reduce the number of hungry Tanzanians, as Tanzania already has excellent land and water resources, in addition to international access via a major port city (Dar es Salaam.) The climate disposes itself to a wide variety of crops, and simply improving the quality and amount of seeds available to Tanzania’s agriculture sector and building the rural roads necessary for the distribution of food could vastly increase Tanzania’s food yield.
International aid organizations like USAID are already working to make hunger in Tanzania a thing of the past. The Tanzanian government is also taking steps to eradicate poverty in its country by instituting policies and programs such as Kilimo Kwanza (which means “agriculture first”) and the Southern Agricultural Growth Corridor of Tanzania, which aim to eliminate hunger and reduce poverty by promoting agricultural growth. Motivated to feed themselves, the Tanzanian people simply require the capital to make prosperity a reality.

And even if the report is true, which country is this having the whole of its population under hunger?
They say 600,000 Kenyans but the total in East and south Africa is 36,000,000. This means that36,000,000-600,000 a reminder of 35,400,000 are dying of Hunger. Where are they? Uganda? Rwanda? Burundi? Probably Tanzania takes the highest number due to the population size! As we eliminate Rwanda, Malawi, and the rest with minimal populations!
