A herder dumps a dead goat onto a pile of carcasses in Illeret, Marsabit County. The devastating drought in Northern Kenya has left pastoralist communities without pasture leading to death of hundreds of thousands of livestock.
Kwale county has at least 200,000 hunger-stricken people.
The County has received 4,500 bags of rice and 3,600 bags of beans, targeting 10,019 residents.
Some 2.7 million Kenyans in 23 counties are still in dire need of relief food as the drought situation worsens.
Government Spokesman Cyrus Oguna said in Kilifi yesterday that Sh680 million has been set aside for a cash transfer programme to supplement relief food supply in drought-hit areas.
