Thousands of cattle die in east Tanzania due to severe drought

ARUSHA, Tanzania, Jan. 3 (PNA/Xinhua) -- Over 3,000 herds of cattle have died in eastern Tanzania's region of Morogoro due to severe drought over the past two months, authorities said Monday.

Stephen Kebwe, Morogoro Regional Commissioner, confirmed on the situation, saying Kilosa District is one of the highly affected areas with drought in the region.

He revealed that for the past two months a total of 3,829 herds of cattle died due to lack of pastures and water.

"Always the district gets the first rains in November but, this time no single drop of rains since last April," the official said, attributing the situation to climate change.

The official urged pastoralists to change the way they use pasture in the country by adopting sustainable ways instead of decimating one area and moving to another.

One of the local herders, Lekule Mutusi, said tens of his cattle had died. "The situation here is bad. I tried to save the lives of my cattle by feeding them with husks but in vain," he said, noting that pastoralists in the area were in a state of despair as all their attempts had failed.

"When our animals die, our very own lives are threatened," he said. (PNA/Xinhua)

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
