20 lakh children risk starving to death in Horn of Africa: UN

Nearly 20 lakh children risk starving to death in the Horn of Africa amid severe droughts, according to UN aid chief Martin Griffiths. Parts of Kenya, Ethiopia and Somalia are facing the driest conditions in more than 40 years. The UN has only a fraction of the $1.4 billion it needs to respond to the crisis, Griffiths said.
