Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>One person is likely to die of hunger every 36 seconds between now and the end of the year in drought-ravaged East Africa as the worst-hit areas hurtle toward famine, an international humanitarian agency warned on Friday.<\/p>\n

In a statement, Oxfam International said that the situation in Somalia, Ethiopia and Kenya is \u201cdeteriorating fast.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn Somalia, it is the worst hunger crisis in living memory, with the number of people experiencing acute hunger already surpassing the number affected in the famine of 2011, when more than a quarter of a million people died. Almost one in six people in Somalia are now facing extreme hunger,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n

\u201cLarge parts of the region have suffered four failed rainy seasons \u2013 with a fifth likely to unfold over the next three months \u2013 as climate change has decimated crops and forced pastoralists to abandon their traditional way of life,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n

Oxfam said the crisis has been exacerbated in many places by conflict, the fallout from COVID-19 and by rising food prices due in part to the war in Ukraine.<\/p>\n

Oxfam data “suggests that the rate at which people in Somalia, Ethiopia and Kenya are dying of hunger has increased since May when it estimated that a person was dying every 48 seconds and dangerous delays in providing aid to millions on the brink of starvation,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n

It said that across the four countries in East Africa, more than 6 million children face or are already suffering from acute malnutrition.<\/p>\n

Last month, the UN said that famine will occur in some parts of Somalia, especially in the country\u2019s South West State as the state administrative capital Baidoa alone is now hosting nearly a million newly displaced people who fled from the drought in search of food and water.<\/p>\n

In late 2021, the Somali government declared the drought a \u201cnational emergency.\u201d<\/p>\n
