The Famine At The Edge Of The Ocean

A journey into Madagascar's drought stricken south.

In southern Madagascar, a million people are struggling for food following the worst drought in 30 years which The United Nations has described as the “world’s first climate-induced famine”. But many scientists dispute this, crediting a far more complex array of causes, including government mismanagement. So what really is the main driver of the famine? Journalist Raissa Iousouff travels to the South of Madagascar in search of answers and meets many of the local people and communities who are fighting to survive.
