Elsewhere in Kenya, above average rainfall may lead to improved food security in coming months if conditions support recovery of the livestock sector.</p><p>However, the situation across East Africa remains extremely challenging as the severity of the drought and ongoing conflict in many areas haves eroded the resilience of communities and with impediments to the delivery of aid.
