CHICAGO — Throughout the Horn of Africa, in Ethiopia, Somalia and Kenya, over 13 million people are currently at risk of severe malnutrition or starvation as the region faces the worst drought conditions in 60 years.

The reasons for this are the unsafe working environment for NGOs and a lack of humanitarian funding.
