Disaster

Is anybody else really touched by what is going on in Eastern Africa, a mass of people are seeking refuge in a large refugee camp in Kenya.
People walking for miles, not fleeing war but a dry terrain in which nothing has substance and there are no trees to bear any fruit.
No water... No rain, NOTHING!

The news portrays starving children, weak and lifeless, clutching on to life in make shift hospitals.
Land used as a burial site for those who simply cannot take it anymore.

Livestock with as much meat as is on dying children.
In essence, a dying nation.
And the news are still calling it a drought.
When half the refugee camp is 6 feet under they will most likely then decide to call it a famine.

Really, they need foreign aid and loads of it.

It's not anybody's fault it's just the region.
Living in arid desert like situations come with a huge downsides.

Either way, there is no time to blame.
Just keep the people of eastern africa in your thoughts and prayers.
