Loaves and Fishes Time... 7 June 2011 East Africa faces 'world's worst food security crisis' Some households "are unable to access the basic food supplies", Fewsnet warns Somalia nearing a 'total famine' The world's worst food security crisis is continuing in the eastern Horn of Africa, a US agency has warned. The Famine Early Warning Systems Network (Fewsnet) said areas of particular concern were in Ethiopia, Kenya and Somalia. It said large-scale emergency assistance was urgently needed "to save lives and treat acute malnutrition" in the region. It also stressed that the current humanitarian response was "inadequate". In a statement, Fewsnet said the eastern Horn of Africa "has experienced two consecutive seasons of significantly below-average rainfall, resulting in one of the driest years since 1995". It said that crops had failed and local cereal prices remained very high. "This is the most severe food security emergency in the world today," the statement said.
