The United Nations (UN) Fund of Population Activities has estimated that 43 million people in the Horn of Africa region need urgent humanitarian aid.
The fund revealed that most of the needy are populations of Ethiopia, Kenya, and Somalia as famine and the absence of security food threaten those people.
The fund urges the donors to be more generous to save millions of drought-stricken people from starvation and thirst. A report released by the UN Fund liked the desertification of arable and pastureland in the Horn of Africa to drought over the years from 2020 through 2023, as 2.3 million people fled farms and pastureland to escape poverty and to chase better opportunities.
The report added that drought led also to the death of 13 million people throughout those three si8nster years as well as herds of cattle.
