Summary:Part of The Constant Gardener was shot in Loiyan-galani, in the drought-affected district of Turkana. The drought conditions extend throughout the Horn of Africa, where 2.6 million Ethiopians and 1.7 million Somalis are also suffering from food shortages. Oxfam will warn today that pastoralists may take 15 years to recover their livelihoods unless they receive appropriate support. Up to 95 per cent of cattle in some areas have died because of the drought and local economies are crumbling.
