11:22Now PlayingA massive drought in Africa could be just the beginning of a much larger problem. Cenk Uygur, Ana Kasparian, and John Iadarola, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“During the drought that devastated the Horn of Africa in 2010 and 2011, women bound their waists with rope to deaden the pangs of hunger as they gave what little food they had to their children.
In stark contrast to such selfless acts, the international community stood back and watched until it was too late for the 260,000 people who starved to death.
Now aid workers are increasingly concerned that 2017 could see a tragedy on a similar scale with droughts – and floods – meaning some parts of southern and east Africa have not had a significant harvest for three years.”
