The situation in Kenya is getting dire. A few weeks ago, the government had 23 counties on high alert as far as drought is concerned. Just last week, that number went up to 29 counties in distress, with 10 out of those 29 been classified as in the red zone.
The Kenya red cross that has been part of the relief efforts has classified them into 2 categories as those on alert and those where there is alarm. The counties at alert stage include Embu, Garissa, Kitui, Makueni, Meru, Narok, Nyeri, Taita Taveta, Kwale and Kilifi.
Those at alarm stage include Isiolo, Mandera, Samburu, Kajiado, Tharaka Nithi, Turkana, Wajir, Laikipia, Tana River and Marsabit.
