Climate change in the Horn of Africa impacts birth rate

Post by XimanJaale »

It seems like the drought due to high heat and lack of rainfall has a negative influence on pregnancy causing miscarriages. Ilaahi ummada ha uu gargaaro.
Many women in the camp report they have suffered from miscarriages because of the drought and a recent study in Global Environmental Change found that reduced rainfall and high heat has resulted in low birth rates, stemming from the increased likelihood of miscarriages.

“In the very early stages of intra-uterine development, climate change has the potential to significantly impact birth outcomes,” said Kathryn Grace, professor of geography at the University of Utah and lead author of the study.
