ACT ALLIANCE: East Africa's drought - the crisis deepens

Christian Aid's Head of Humanitarian Division, Nick Guttmann, speaks about his recent visit to north eastern Kenya and Ethiopia. He describes the situation in Kenya, Ethiopia and Somalia, and the worst drought they are experiencing in 60 years. He calls for peace and security in Somalia, if the needs of the people are to be met. He describes the essential work of our partners in northern Kenya which includes providing people with trucked water, repairing bore holes and the successes of building small reservoirs in advance of the drought. Nick thanks supporters for all their donations, but encourages those who have not donated to give as there is still more need.

Christian Aid is a member of the ACT Alliance, and is working through experienced ACT partners on the ground in Kenya, Ethiopia and Somalia.
