Hundreds of elephants, wildebeests and zebras dead in Kenya amid prolonged drought

Thousands of cattle, sheep, pigs and goats died in Kenya where an unusually prolonged drought made the animals a serious danger to farmers.

About 100 of the animals died in South and West Kenya where a combination of the most severe drought to hit the country since 1976 has left farmers struggling.

More than 40,000 people have been forced to flee their homes.

Last week the United Nations said the drought could be the worst since 1976 and last year was the driest since 2003.

A drought in southern Africa could destroy the continent’s water supply next year.

And it could affect some of the world’s most densely-populated areas.

The World Bank has said it is looking to stop building the dams because they increase the cost of the African water source.

But the drought has also affected the region’s agricultural production and has left the region with a food security problem which is likely to cause the biggest famine in decades.

Drought is sweeping across Southern Africa – particularly the drier parts of the country, making it the worst drought since 1976, a United Nations agency said.

The worst drought in the region for a decade has cut maize production by 10%, livestock have been forced to flee their camps due to the lack of water, and the drought may see more than 10,000 people flee their homes.

The drought, which has affected parts of Botswana, Namibia and southern KwaZulu-Natal in the past, may be the worst since the drought of 1976.

In Botswana, cattle ranchers are feeling the effects of the drought.

Many have been forced to move their herds from the central Okavango Delta, which has seen the worst drought for the last 15 years, after herds started to decrease in the winter.
