Nomadic Pastoralists take their animals for grazing outside of Wajir, Kenya May 13, 2006. During the past decade, the frequency of drought has been increasing with shorter recovery periods, having an intense impact on the pastoralists who are among the regions most vulnerable population. Of the more than 8 million people in need of humanitarian assistance in the Horn of Africa, 1.6 million are children below the age of five years, threatened mainly by malnutrition. The loss of the animals, prime sources of meat and milk and the main financial assets of the pastoralists, has created a spiralling cycle of poverty and insecurity. (Ami Vitale)
