Uganda begins emergency food handouts after 19 die from hunger

Uganda has launched emergency food relief distribution after at least 19
deaths from hunger were reported in an area of prolonged drought in the
east of the country. A crisis has been building in the Karamoja region of
Uganda as crops have failed without the season’s expected rains, leaving
the region’s 1.5 million people facing acute food shortages and rising
malnutrition.
