Unprecedented Drought in Horn of Africa

 The World Economic Forum published on 21 July 2022 an article titled "The Horn of Africa Is Facing an Unprecedented Drought.  What Is the World Doing to Help Solve It?" by Stefan Ellerbeck.  

More than 18 million people are experiencing extreme hunger in Somalia and parts of Ethiopia and Kenya as a consequence of the region's worst drought in more than 40 years.  The UN is appealing for $42 million to provide urgent assistance.
