NAIROBI, Jan. 11 (Xinhua) -- The food crisis in Kenya's arid counties could escalate amid suppressed October to December 2022 rainy season that led to crop failure, and drying of pasture and water sources, a senior official said Wednesday.
Rebecca Miano, the cabinet secretary in the Ministry of East African Community, Arid and Semi-Arid Lands and Regional Development, said that the latest projections indicate that hunger, malnutrition and water stress are likely to escalate countrywide this dry season.
