BBC News - Kenya drought: Starvation claims 14 lives in Turkana: "At least 14 people have died in Kenya's north-eastern Turkana region - the first hunger-related Kenyan deaths in the current regional drought.
The MP for Turkana, John Munyes, said the deaths were in three remote villages after the government failed to transport food to drought victims.
The UN says more than four million Kenyans are threatened by starvation in the region's worst drought in 60 years.
Other countries affected are Somalia, Ethiopia and Djibouti."
