Oxfam Australia East Africa Food Crisis Appeal has now finished

More than 12 million people in East Africa are facing desperate food shortages following the worst drought in 60 years. Rains have failed for successive seasons, and families across Somalia, Ethiopia and Kenya are struggling to find anything to eat or drink. Hundreds of thousands of livestock have already died and food prices have rocketed.

Oxfam Australia is working directly, and with partners, in the region to support 3 million people with life-saving water, basic sanitation, food and cash.
