Human-Caused Climate Change Intensified Devastating Horn of Africa Drought, Scientists Report

The ongoing drought in the Horn of Africa left over 20 million people in need of aid and displaced over 2 million.
A study found that climate change made the drought at least 100 times more likely and twice as severe.
Rising temperatures amplified the drought by increasing evaporation and disrupting weather patterns.
The drought primarily impacted Kenya, Ethiopia, Somalia, Uganda, and South Sudan, worsening instability and conflict.
Though some rain has fallen, the region requires significantly more to recover from the catastrophe.
