IFRC: Over one million Mauritanians could face severe food crisis

The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) has warned on Monday that over one million Mauritanians could face severe food crisis in the coming months due to erratic rainfall, drought, and rising food prices. The Kuwait News Agency reports that community-based disaster risk reduction activities will be implemented to allow people to be less dependent on rainwater for their food security.
