More than a quarter of Kenyans living in dry and semi-dry areas are facing high levels of food insecurity, according to UN data.
Prolonged drought in east Africa and the war in Ukraine are adding more pressure to household budgets.
Some of the poorest in the country can afford just one meal per day.
The BBC’s Africa correspondent Catherine Byaruhanga reports.

Kenya is now becomes very expensive, bad leadership, grand corruption even the President who claimed he is fully in charge, confesses that 2b shillings always missing in government coffers daily and he didn't look concerned.
If we have leaders who cares about his people they should import fuel from Russia.
When the U.S invaded Iraq it was against the U.N resolution and no one imposed any suction on them, then why should poor Country's follows their orders? A crime is a crime it doesn't matter who committed it and where unless we don't believe in equality and basic human rights.
May GOD Send his blessings to the innocent people in need of nourishment
Save starving British folk who can barely afford the rising cost of living and cut Kenya some slack with your inflated twisted narratives BBC!!
We should clearly explain about sex education for the poor people on the entire planet. They shouldn't have kids anymore.

Astroturfing should be a computer crime…….BBC
In times of food insecurity a culture begins to crumble. Morality stands no chance against the pressures of hunger and parents will consider any option, be it cannibalism or killing their own and themselves. Thankfully/sadly many nations in Africa have "training" in how to survive such pressure, but there is a breaking point and would-be despots will use it to their advantage.
BBC sort out your comments section. Pathetic.
BBC please if you can't find news here, go back to England and stay there. Nobody has starved to death here in Kenya. I don't remember a year it has not been drought season here. Say food prices have gone up not that people are starving. Who's starving while you interview a guy selling fresh tomatoes right there. He's selling 4 for 20 cents($). So who's starving?

August is the Election month, the government is milking it's people like a cow. 🥛🐄
Soon the BBC traitors will be telling us how the entire global transport of food must be slowed to a snails space, starving multi millions, as elderly sick people must have their lives prolonged by about two years protected from Covid, so to save thousands of old sick pensioners, we must starve to death millions of children and babies. The BBC is woke to death. They have lost contact with reality, Do not pay your licence. Watch Youtube instead. Do not pay the BBC to murder people with ignorance.
My parents are from here and when they left in 75 due to africanisation policy of neighbouring countries (idi Amin) Nairobi looks beautiful but it's definitely dangerous.
Obviously the answer is to make more babies. Send condoms not food.
And the government is busy here to make kitendawili president to an extent they are telling Kenyans a neighbouring country is eating rats we should embrace other foods hahaha
Kenya imports less than 20% of food ukrain has nothing to do with hunger in Kenya. Politicians are to blame they have decided to gamble even with Kenyan lifes
Not for nothing but Afrikaans always had food and water Shortage, the is always war somewhere. So most of those excuses the Ukraine war causing food shortages its bulshit.
You vil eat ze bugs – WEF
STOP SAYING THERE IS WAR BETWEEN RUSSIA AND UKRAINE…..THE WAR IS ONE SICK, DISGUSTING MAN WHO IS ALLOWED TO DESTROY AND KILL WHOEVER HE FEELS LIKE, WHILE THE REST OF THE WORLD SITS AND WATCH HIM DO IT…..STOP BLAMING THE INNOCENT COUNTRIES
Some where drought, some where flood. Not able to understand the programme of God?
Local media are just posting politicians and our people are dying
I dont get how and why kenya gets affected by ukraine war yet it has arable and fertile lands for farming ..the goverment and the politicians have sank deep into corruption now withholding food in silos just to get sympathy and get aid money so that they can make their pockets more full…why is israel not starving yet its a desert …kenyans and african in general should wake up and stop being controlled….we have rivers ,lakes and some areas that never go dry…those areas can feed kenya and its 3 neighbours
This has nothing to do with Ukraine the govt does not want to import cereals from Tanzania ,Uganda and Zambia
Who cares IAM having KFC to night. What are you little shits having.
More British people than ever are suffering food and fuel poverty👀
