UN says prolonged drought deepening crisis in Southern Africa

Описание: Prolonged drought across the nations of southern Africa has now affected approximately 18 million people. That's according to a United Nations climate envoy. More effects are likely in the coming months. South Africa, Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe and Mozambique are all affected. The drought has been made worse by the EL Nino weather phenomenon. Poor rainfall and hotter termperatures are also a factor. Water restrictions are in effect in several countries.
