More than 13 million people in Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, and the newly-formed Republic of South Sudan have been left in need of food, water and emergency healthcare because of one of the worst droughts in 60 years. Hundreds of thousands of people have fled Somalia due to the drought and conflict, parts of the country are now afflicted by famine.
Donations from the UK public for the appeal have raised £75 million and have helped 1.3 million people. DEC fundraising for this appeal is now closed; money raised for the appeal will be spent over the two year period ending in July 2013 to ensure people are helped not just to survive the crisis but also to begin to rebuild their lives.
