Description
“A time will come when the kids will go to bed without food,” says Arabang Polanka, a subsistence farmer from the small village of Butha-Buthe in Lesotho. Devastating drought conditions have left around 700,000 people fighting hunger in the tiny mountainous kingdom with a population of two million. Severe El Nino-induced dry conditions have also impacted other southern African nations, including Malawi, Zambia, Namibia, and Zimbabwe. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES ARRANGED IN SEQUENCES
