US First Lady Jill Biden visited drought-affected communities in Kenya and appealed for wealthy nations to give more as the Horn of Africa suffers its driest conditions in decades.
Biden concluded her two-nation tour of Africa by calling for a greater spotlight on the record-breaking drought which threatens 22 million people in Kenya, Somalia and Ethiopia with starvation.
“We cannot be the only ones. We have to have other countries join us in this global effort to help these people of the region,” said Biden at a relief point in Kajiado, a bone-dry county south of Nairobi. — AFP
