10 millionpeople in need of humanitarian assistancec

Over the past year, the eastern Horn of Africa has experienced two

consecutive poor rainy seasons, resulting in one of the driest years

since 1950/51 in many pastoral zones. The impacts of the drought

have been exacerbated by high local cereal prices, excess livestock

mortality, conflict and restricted humanitarian access in some areas.a
