President William Ruto has said climate change has left the government with tough choices; providing food aid to populations ravaged by famine or funding critical services such as health and education.

Ruto, speaking to CNN in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, where he is attending the 2022 COP27, said the government had diverted money allocated for healthcare to food aid, as the country reels from the worst drought in four decades.
