With little for their livestock to eat and drink, the residents of Adawe are forced to watch their herds shrink, day-by-day. Camel herder Abdi Serif said he has already lost 30 out of 150 camels — that's a fifth of his herd. But now we don't have anything to eat because now it's the animals who depend on us," Abdi told DW.

If we give them a small amount of cash, they will purchase what they need and the children can eat."
