'Just waiting to die': The Kenyans surviving on berries in drought-stricken north • FRANCE 24

It has been three years since the small village of Purapul in northern Kenya saw any significant rainfall and residents have been forced to turn to eating bitter wild berries in order to survive, though some say it is just a matter of time until they succumb to starvation. Their plight is part of a severe drought affecting people across the Horn of Africa, where an estimated 18 million people are on the verge of famine.

I don't understand humanity. There are a few who realize what needs to be done, but most people are too busy to be bothered with logical and moral ways for some reason.

it is not sustainable if nation is dependent on food imports. these people need more fishing rods. not fish.

It's not surprising for western media to almost always portray Africa negatively. We're endowed with abundant beauty, peace, prosperity, unity, just to mention a few. This constant depiction of Africa as a wasteland of chaos, hunger, extremism, poverty, political instability and so forth by western media is meant to reinforce a deceitful mental picture of depravity.

Europe and America have so much food they waste incredible amounts, if they shared their food with the needy, they'd see there's more than enough
