An African regional bloc has warned that more than fifty million people across the East African region are expected to face acute food insecurity this year.
The assessment by Inter-governmental Authority on Development said some three hundred thousand people in Somalia and South Sudan are projected to be under full-blown famine conditions.
The UN agencies, humanitarian groups and others organizations also continue to raise alarm over the region's food crisis that many say has been largely neglected as the international community focuses on the war in Ukraine.
