A severe drought continues to plague the normally prosperous country of Kenya. Kenya's people as well as their economic source of income, agriculture and tourism, are dwindling down to nothing. While thousands are dying of dehydration the Kenyan government seems to be ignoring their cries for help. International aid has already settled into the hardest hit regions, but in a much smaller force than hoped for. While donor nations are being slow to respond, the UN has asked for a $576 million fund, which has only been half-raised. Corruption continues to show its face prominantly and government officials seem more focused on the 2012 election than the current devastion facing the country. While the drought continues so does the Kenyan peoples fight for survival.
