A girl wearing the Kenyan flag wanders in the bush in Illeret, Marsabit County. Thousands of learners in northern Kenya were reported to have dropped out of school during the recent drought that plagued the country.
The number of Kenyans lacking sufficient food has increased by 14.6 percentage points in less than a decade, reaching the highest level in 25 years, according to a new survey.
The 2025 Global Hunger Index (GHI) reports that 36.8 percent of Kenyans—approximately 20 million people—are undernourished, meaning they do not consume enough food to meet their basic daily energy needs.
