Food crisis in East Africa to worsen

DP-A reports (via African Agriculture):

An expected poor 2008 cereal crop yield in several East African countries is set to exacerbate food insecurity for millions of people affected by high food prices, a UN agency warned July 15.

The FAO says Eritrea, Ethiopia, Somalia, Uganda and Kenya all face poor harvests in 2008.
