Audio Slideshow: On the brink of starvation

Oxfam is warning that millions of people in east Africa are being pushed into starvation because of spiralling food prices. The charity says about 13 million people are in urgent need of aid because of a combination of factors - including drought, conflict and chronic poverty.

Photojournalist Nick Danziger has just returned from the Afar and Somali region of Ethiopia. He took these photographs and has been speaking to the Today programme.
