Uganda
In the north and east of Uganda at least 35 people are reported to have recently died of starvation. The government said last week that so far 51 districts had requested relief food.
Local and national leaders blame the famine on weather calamities starting with the floods of late 2007. After the floods came drought, tempered by late and poor rains, which resulted in food stress during much of 2008. The same pattern recurred in the first half of this year, culminating into the current drought.

10/7/09 - Field Report Released
"It’s no secret that the world is a more difficult place today than ever. With war, poverty, and environmental disasters along with weather challenges, the number of people who desperately need help continues to grow.

While that number grows every day, by God’s provision through you, so does Feed The Hungry in our ability to help.
No matter if the need is in the nation of Niger or the city of Elkhart, Indiana, Feed The Hungry is reaching out like never before because the needs are greater than ever before.

10/7/09 - FTH Partner Letter Released - Expanding in the fear of fear
When peace was finally declared in Sudan’s long, horrible civil war, more trouble came. A terrorist group — ironically named the “Lord’s Resistance Army” (LRA) — moved in from neighbouring Uganda.
The LRA is notorious for abducting children and making them slave-soldiers. Hundreds, possibly thousands, of Ugandan children are moved from place to place every night to avoid abduction. Now the LRA is threatening the children in our care in Sudan.
