The Silent Catastrophe: Battling Drought, Hunger, and Instability in East Africa
East Africa is facing its most devastating drought in four decades, compounded by regional conflict. This combination has triggered a massive humanitarian crisis, leaving millions on the brink of famine. We are mobilizing emergency teams to deliver life-saving supplies to **Somalia, South Sudan, and Ethiopia**, where the need is most critical.
Millions Displaced, Lives in Danger
Across the region, consecutive failed rainy seasons have decimated livestock and crops, destroying the primary sources of food and income for pastoral communities. In **South Sudan**, instability has made aid distribution incredibly difficult, leading to a severe lack of resources for internally displaced persons (IDPs). In **Somalia**, over 7 million people are struggling with high levels of acute food insecurity.
This crisis is not just about lack of food; it’s a total collapse of livelihoods. Families are forced to make impossible choices, like walking hundreds of miles in search of water, which exposes women and children to extreme danger and health risks.
The Critical Stakes of the Crisis
- **Severe Malnutrition:** Over **2 million children** across the region are facing severe acute malnutrition (SAM), the deadliest form of hunger.
- **Lack of Clean Water:** Water scarcity is accelerating the spread of diseases like cholera, particularly in crowded IDP camps.
- **Educational Interruption:** Thousands of schools have been forced to close as families migrate, losing entire academic years.
- **Loss of Livestock:** Drought has killed millions of animals, wiping out generations of wealth and community sustenance.
