The Tana River County Government is calling for help from the national government and well wishers to mitigate drought being experienced in most areas there. Governor Hussein Dado says that the county experienced very little rain, and more than 50,000 people face starvation, a number that could go up to 97,000 if measures are not put in place early. Dado also called on the Kenya Wildlife Service KWS to allow pastoralists inside Tsavo East National Park in the meantime, saying there will not be a human-wildlife conflict in the area since a similar program was implemented last year. The county spent 160 million shillings on relief food, and an additional 250 million for water distribution and construction of small water dams. The most hard hit areas include Bangal division, Hirimani, Mbalambala, Madogo, Asa and Kone.
