Drought in Madagascar
A severe drought in southern Madagascar has led to major food shortages across the island nation, raising the risk of widespread famine.
UN agencies warned of a potential "catastrophe", as around half of the population in southern Madagascar - nearly 850,000 people - are experiencing "alarming" levels of hunger.
This is the third consecutive year in a row that crops have failed and water availability is extremely low.
The drought has left around 20 percent of households in southern Madagascar experiencing emergency levels of hunger.
