Urgent: Extreme weather in Horn of Africa

Eysa stands on the banks of the river near her home in a region of Ethiopia that has experienced long periods of drought followed by major flooding.

In the Horn of Africa and 40+ countries around the world, Mercy Corps is helping people cope, adapt, and thrive in the face of the most complex challenges – poverty, disaster, violent conflict, and the acute impacts of climate change.

An estimated 46 million people are facing a hunger crisis after five failed rainy seasons in the Horn of Africa. The climate-driven disaster has forced millions from their homes in search of basic necessities like clean water and food.

The region is now bracing for locusts, flooding, and landslides that may be triggered by torrential rains predicted as El Niño arrives.
