From the Oxfam email:
East Africa is in the middle of a serious food crisis. Water is scarce. Food is running out. People have died and more will die if sufficient aid is not delivered fast. Nomadic herding communities are most at risk, with over 70 per cent of the animals on which they depend already dead in many areas. Recent rains, far from solving the crisis, have actually increased the risk of disease and are hampering the transportation of relief.
