Power, administrator of the US Agency for International Development, said the situation was especially dire in turbulent Somalia, conflict-hit Ethiopia and Kenya, the so-called Horn of Africa which is forecast to experience its fifth straight drought later this year. "Now we need others to do more, before a famine strikes, before millions more children find themselves on the knife's edge," she said.
