warning
CAFOD HAS joined forces with 42 other international agencies in a call to help Kenya's hungry millions.
After years of drought, more than four million vulnerable people in Kenya are still facing starvation. Food shortages in the north and east of the country are continuing to cause serious problems. Farmers have not recovered from crop failure, and hundreds of thousands of camels, cattle and goats have died, depriving communities of their only source of livelihood.
A spokesman for the Catholic aid agency , Stephen Lloyd, said: "Children need milk and other foods to help them grow.
"When this milk is not available, they are at great risk of malnutrition, stunted growth and even death."
