Starving Kenyans eat poisonous fruits for survival
KARANJA NJOROGE
The dry riverbeds, wilting shrubs and emaciated women with malnourished babies tied on their backs welcome you to the sun-baked East Pokot District.
Spine–chilling scenes of dying animals and families feeding on wild fruits are an indication of a community on the verge of a catastrophe.
In the villages, the youth and a few energetic older men have abandoned their homes in desperate search for pasture and wild fruits. Only children and women who are too weak to walk are left behind.
Even as the government assured Kenyans that no one would die from famine, all indications are that hundreds of residents in the larger Baringo County were staring death in the face.
Villagers who have gone for days without food have been subsisting on wild fruits known locally as Sorech or loma.
Environmentalists told the The Standard crew on a tour of the drought-stricken areas that the wild fruits were poisonous.
Before they can call it a meal the bitter fruit has to be boiled for hours to make it edible.
