Countries on Wednesday pledged hundreds of millions of dollars in additional aid for the Horn of Africa as they sounded the alarm on a drought in the region and looming famines in Somalia and other countries.
The Horn of Africa is experiencing its worst drought in 40 years and experts say the region is on track for a fifth consecutive failed rainy season.
U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned that the people in the Horn of Africa were "staring into the abyss of humanitarian catastrophe." The head of the U.S. Agency for International Development , Samantha Power, said Washington would provide another $151 million to address needs in Somalia.
