The Horn of Africa, where the risk of famine is growing due to a historic drought, is bracing itself for a fifth consecutive failed rainy season, the UN agency World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) said on Friday.
“You have heard a lot from humanitarian agencies about the terrible drought in the Horn of Africa. Unfortunately, you are going to hear even more about it in the coming weeks and months as the drought continues,” said a WMO spokeswoman, Clare Nullis, at a regular press briefing in Geneva.
