Kenyans angry over Turkana drought response

Kenyans have accused their government of ignoring an estimated one million drought victims in the north-western Turkana region.

However, the authorities say this figure is "normal" and the deaths are not directly related to the drought.

Turkana is one of Kenya's poorest counties and is situated in the extreme north-west.

It is also one of the driest and least developed regions of the country.
