The counties of Madera, Garissa, Wajir, Isiolo and Turkana are particularly effected by the situation. The government introduced measures such as distribution of food, cash transfer programs, and drought-resistant crops and fertilisers to farmers. Currently, there are over 1.4 million of Kenyans suffering from hunger. The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic are likely to increase these number. The drought effects the abilities of Kenyans to grow food and hence a large number of families suffer from lack of food subsidies. The government of Kenya has asked for assistance from their development partners such as UNICEF, World Bank etc.
