At least 16 people have died from acute food shortages caused by prolonged drought in Uganda’s semi-arid northeastern Karamoja region, the country’s Office of the Prime Minister (OPM) said on Thursday.
In a statement issued in Kampala, Alex Kakooza, permanent secretary at the OPM, said prolonged dry conditions had caused widespread crop failures and severe food shortages, contributing to the deaths.
