Right now, 23 million people across Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia and Uganda are facing life-threatening shortages of food and water, caused by severe drought. You can help.

Communities across East Africa are facing life-threatening shortages of food and water. Severe recurring drought is the major cause.

Oxfam is already responding to this crisis. But the number of people facing severe food shortages has risen dramatically in recent months. We urgently need more support to continue this vital work.
