Famine is coming to East Africa

More than 7 million people in Somalia are in dire need of food assistance. And the UN has warned that famine there is “at the door." East Africa has had four straight failed rainy seasons, for the first time in more than half a century. That, combined with rising food prices exacerbated by the war in Ukraine, are endangering an estimated 20 million people in the Horn of Africa region. Plus, how a ruling on HIV PrEP meds could affect access to other preventative care. Guests: Axios' Laurin-Whitney Gottbrath, Emily Peck, and Tina Reed.
