(ERGO) – Callers this week (17-23 February 2022) to Radio Ergo’s feedback platform conveyed a sense of deepening hardship resulting from the current prolonged drought. The biggest number of calls came from northern regions. This week 25 per cent of callers were female, which is a larger proportion than usual on this platform. More callers spoke of difficulty in accessing enough food especially for their children. Callers spoke of livestock deaths and disease, displacement and migration, acute water shortage, and lack of fodder and food. Most appealed for aid and wanted their voices to be heard. There were also calls from some parts of the country citing destructive locus invasions.
