In Turkana County, Kenya, widespread hunger and lack of water, compounded by years of underdevelopment, have devastated livelihoods. Families who depend on herding and small-scale farming are losing everything—livestock are dying, crops have failed, and water points have dried up.

The result is acute hunger, rising malnutrition—especially among children—and displacement as traditional ways of coping collapse.

International Relief Teams is responding by providing emergency food relief across 20 of the hardest-hit villages in Turkana County, ensuring families on the brink have access to life-sustaining food during this critical time.
