 The European Commission is mobilising a further €50 million in emergency humanitarian funding to help
 the people hit by drought in the Horn of Africa. With many in the region relying on livestock herding and
 subsistence farming, the prolonged drought is having devastating consequences on food availability and
 livelihoods. Today's additional funding brings total EU humanitarian aid to the region to €366.5 million
 since 2018.

 Funding from this aid package will support drought-affected communities in Somalia (€25 million),
 Ethiopia (€20 million), Kenya (€3 million) and Uganda (€2 million).
