Congratulations! You made it to the fourth virtual room!
You and your team have now collected data from all over the Sahel on the impact of the droughts on the region. Some of the statistics you gathered include the following:
Throughout June to August, famine struck the Sahel as a result of these droughts.
Niger's crops failed to mature in the heat; 350,000 faced starvation and 1,200,000 were at risk of famine.
In Chad, the temperature reached 47.6 °C (117.7 °F) on June 22 in Faya-Largeau.
Niger tied its highest temperature record set in 1998, on also June 22, at 47.1 °C (116.8 °F) in Bilma. That record was broken the next day, on June 23 when Bilma hit 48.2 °C (118.8 °F).
The hottest temperature recorded in Sudan was reached on June 25, at 49.6 °C (121.3 °F) in Dongola, breaking a record set in 1987.
Niger reported diarrhoea, starvation, gastroenteritis, malnutrition and respiratory diseases killed and sickened many children July 14.
