Famine in Kenya
A correction to my earlier post is in order on the world’s response to the famine in Kenya. My colleague is indeed working hard to respond to this crises. The UNDP is funding an assessment, and also executing an EMOP (Emergency Operation) with the FAO and WFP. The assessment will help the UN ask for funds and direct other agencies as they get involved. The results are not encouraging, however. The number of people affected (starving) has gone up to 2.5 million.
Apologies to the UNDP’s security unit, which is not asleep but working hard. It may change little, because the world may not be listening, or interested.
