River runs dry.

The Ewaso Nyiro river in Kenya has run dry. It is the light brown channel in the picture. This is a result of a drought that has gone on for almost a year. The May thu June rains were much less than normal and now the river has been dry for 6 months. Elephants as well as many other animals have died as a result of this drought. 3.8 million people are being fed by various relief efforts. If the rain in November and December also fail the situation here will become much more serious.
