DROUGHT CRITICAL: A woman waits patiently to fill her jerrycans in Marsabit, Kenya

When NTV Journalist Robert Nagila went to Baringo County in central Kenya for the station's weekend program, the County Edition, nothing had prepared him for the kind of suffering before his eyes. Kenya's crippling drought was now up close and personal.

He saw women sitting under a tree chewing on wild berries, because there is nothing else to eat. He went to a dispensary where the nurse told him that without water, it was difficult to treat even simple illnesses. He went to a school where he saw hungry children in class waiting for their lunch of boiled maize, yet the cook didn't have enough water to boil the maize donated by the World Food Program.

"Unable to bear it anymore, we gave out all the fruits and water we had brought [to the children]," he said. "Without food and water anyone will tell you education is not a priority, your stomach is," Nagila said to end his broadcast.
