El Niño drought hits up to 8 million people in Papua New Guinea

Extreme drought driven by a historic El Niño is affecting as many as 8 million people in Papua New Guinea, drying rivers and food gardens and causing water, food and power shortages. Schools and clinics are closing early. A coalition of churches, unions and business groups calls it a national crisis with no coordinated plan, while aid workers say rural families are down to one meal a day.
