Kenya : Forseeable death.

The food situation, particularly among pastoralists in drought-affected areas of Kenya, continues to deteriorate.
Pre-famine conditions were already evident in the northeastern region.
Should the 2006 long-rains season be similarly unfavorable, there could be a serious humanitarian and livelihood catastrophe.
The United Nations has estimated that 3.5 million people in Kenya, mainly nomadic pastoralists, are suffering from the drought.
The provision of water seemed to be the most critical problem in the northeast.
In El Wak, a town in the far north-east of Kenya, people are waiting for the rain.
