World Food Day is observed annually on October 16, 2022, to highlight the millions of people worldwide who cannot afford a healthy diet and the need for regular access to nutritious food.
With the day falling on a Sunday, the celebrations were moved to Monday.
Last month, President William Ruto flagged off 20,000 bags of rice, 20,000 bags of beans, and assorted animal feed to areas facing severe drought.
This comes after the drought condition in the country continued to worsen as several parts of the arid and semi-arid lands (ASALs) remained relatively dry and sunny with 20 out of the 23 arid and semi-arid counties affected.
The head of state flagged off the consignment to 23 counties most affected by famine and drought.
At least 3.5 million Kenyans are severely affected by the ongoing drought.
