DAMBAS, KENYA - MARCH 16: A dead camel lies rotting in the midday heat on March 16, 2006, in Dambas, Kenya. Many of the cattle in the village has died and it is important that the remaining livestock is well cared for. Thousands of people are facing starvation and thirst due to deepening drought. The government is distributing food rations to communities in the worst-affected areas and is appealing to the international community for urgent aid to save the lives of an estimated 2.5 million people. North-eastern Kenya could take 15 years to recover from the effects of the drought, aid agency Oxfam has warned. Many people fear they will soon begin to start dying like their animals. Donkeys and camels in particular are the work horses in this area and when they start to die, people might not be able to transport water that is essential for surviving.
