The World Food Programme is warning 20 million people could go hungry in the Horn of Africa because of a massive drought and rising fuel and food prices due to the war in Ukraine. Last week the U.N. projected 350,000 children in Somalia could die of starvation in the coming months if the world doesn’t act quickly. The U.N. has been trying to raise $1.5 billion for its Somalia Humanitarian Response Plan, but so far it has only been able to raise about 4% of that total.
