A disappointing vulnerability in a section of the country has led to the putting on spot of leaders heading the region.
Two people on Tuesday died of hunger at Kangirisae village in Turkana Central, Turkana County.
Confirming the incident, area Chief John Ewar said the residents are in dire need of relief food.
In Kang’irasai village, Turkana Central, a woman was found dead in the bush. Villagers say she could have died on March 5 after staying for long without food and water. She was found near burning charcoal .
Resident Ann Erupe said the woman had stayed for a long period without eating or even quenching her thirst.
The administrator is now calling on well-wishers and the government to aid the villagers.
This also comes after a drought status and response report by the National Drought Management Authority in February listed Turkana among the worst hit regions.
