Drought and water insecurity in Kenya
October 14, 2024
A child fetches water from the dried Turkwel River in Chok Chok village, located in Turkana County, northwest Kenya on October 14, 2024. Due to the severe drought that is affecting the country, many people are forced to drink water that they fetch from the underground, which is not clean and often causes infections or diseases, including dysentery, a leading cause of death among children under 5.
