Some 2.8 million Kenyans face life-threatening starvation in coming months due to depressed rainfall in late 2024, an alarming increase from 1.9 million recorded the previous year, a new report has warned.
The 2025 Global Report on Food Crises, published by the Food Security Information Network, attributes the worsening situation to poor rains in the last quarter of 2024, which have plunged many into deep food insecurity.
