Kenya's drought eases, but hunger persists
Philip | Oct 26 2009

The Kenya Meteorological Society says rains have ended the country’s long drought but aid officials warn that millions of hungry people still need food aid.

Spokesman Ayub Shaka said Monday that drought-stricken areas received enough precipitation last week to indicate that this season’s rainfall will not fail. The short rainfall season usually lasts from mid-October to December and the long rains from the beginning of March to the end of May.
