On Monday, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) disclosed at least 1.5 million livestock have died across drought-affected parts of Ethiopia. Many regions in Ethiopia are currently experiencing one of the most severe La Nina-induced droughts in recent decades, with more than eight million people acutely food insecure, and the death of 1.5 million livestock due to drought destroying people’s livelihood. “Nearly 300,000 drought-affected people have migrated in search of water, pasture, or assistance,” the UN agency disclosed.
