Drought caused the death of at least 650,000 people in the world

The drought that several countries are currently experiencing is costing lives of people, animals, and crops.

In the previous 50 years, droughts have caused at least 650,000 fatalities across a variety of nations.

According to experts, there has been an upsurge in drought in several parts of the world in recent years.

A dry spell is a time when it hasn't rained. When it doesn't rain for months or even years, the soil dries up in various parts of the planet.

Extreme heat, climate change, population increase and the need for water, deforestation, and a decline in soil quality are also among the reasons of drought, according to experts.

Forty percent of the world's population will be affected by water scarcity or drought by 2030. The economics and quality of life of those who reside in the afflicted areas are negatively impacted by the shortage of water.

In a similar manner, a shortage of water causes the land and forests to dry out, which can result in forest fires, the death of animals, and the failure of crops, which in turn results in hunger since there is a lack of food available.

Drought also contributes to unhygienic conditions that result in illnesses like salmonella and cholera.

And according to scientists, one of the repercussions of drought is the forced migration of people and animals from areas experiencing drought to areas with water.

Water management techniques can be used in homes, farms, and workplaces to control drought. Additionally, planting trees can help reduce drought.
