Marshall Islands has declared a state of disaster in the island nation's north due to prolonged drought. The decision was made this week after United Nations assessment teams found approximately 10,000 people have so far been affected.

 

They say there is not enough clean drinking water, food gardens are dying from lack of water, and there are concerns about the spread of disease and illness.
