Apocalyptic scenes as drought ravages Marsabit

Katelo Mamo stands over his sheep carcasses, watching as his son drags them far out into the bush into a mass grave.

Flocks of carrion birds congregate near them as the pair performs the exercise early in the morning.

Mamo, a resident of Bubisa, 48km from Marsabit town, is perplexed. Residents have been piling their dead animals in the grave for months, but Mamo is dropping his last sheep this morning.
