dc.descriptionAlarming news about the extent of an El-Niño induced drought in southern Africa, Asia and Latin America is now dominating news coverage. In southern Africa, close to 50 million people are projected to be affected and millions are on the brink of starvation, with dependency on food aid and relief. From 1991-2013, droughts have killed close to 1 million people in Africa, with economic damages of about US $3 billion affecting a further 362 million people.
