| Comments: | The severely affected areas of immediate concern include Upper Eastern (Marsabit, Isiolo, Moyale and Samburu), North Eastern (Mandera, Wajir, Ijara and Garissa), North Rift (Pokot and Turkana), and Coast (Tana River, Lamu and Kwale). The failed short rains led to unfavourable crop and livestock productions. This is being experienced and an estimated 855,000 affected people are now coping through livestock migration, voluntary livestock off take through sale, pooling resources to purchase water and pasture for livestock, dropping out of pastoralism to small holder crop farming, especially those living around permanent rivers such as River Tana and Ewaso Nyiro. |
