Huge El Niño Projected to Cause 450,000 Deaths in Six Months

The forecast, reported by The Guardian, warns the toll will fall hardest on vulnerable populations in Africa, Asia and Latin America. Scientists are urging governments and aid agencies to pre-position food, water and medical supplies before the weather extremes peak.
