Senators drawn from arid and semi-arid areas are calling on the government to declare the current drought a national disaster. The senators say that after the declaration, the situation will attract aid that matches the glaring situation on the ground. The legislators further want current food portions increased to match the United Nations standards. These actions, they say, will alleviate the suffering of those affected and prevent loss of life.
