Drought Response Plan for the Horn of Africa (January – December 2023), the
humanitarian crisis in the Horn of Africa is expanding and deepening.ltspan style="color:#4A4A4A"gt lt/spangtCombined with insecurity and macroeconomic
volatility, the impact of the drought on food and nutrition security has been
devastating. Across Ethiopia, Kenya, and Somalia, an estimated 22 million
people are now acutely food insecure because of the drought. The malnutrition
situation is also critical. Some 5.1 million children across drought-affected
areas of the three countries are acutely malnourished in 2023, with dire
implications for their health, growth, and survival. lt/pgt

of Ethiopia are suffering from a devastating drought following four consecutive
failed rainy seasons since late 2020. This is the worst drought in forty years.

children are the most vulnerable particularly in Zebagazo woreda only while the

due to the drought, 1228 animals died while 2,767 students were forced to drop
out, and also 503 Children are affected by malnutrition. According to Dawuro
