Madagascar on the brink of "climate change famine" - BBC News

Madagascar is on the brink of experiencing the world's first "climate change famine", according to the United Nations.

It says tens of thousands of people are already suffering "catastrophic" levels of hunger and food insecurity after four years without rain.

The drought - the worst in four decades - has devastated isolated farming communities in the south of the country, leaving families to scavenge for insects to survive.
