In Kongor, the famine killed 20,000 and made 100,000 people leave the region.

This famine was the subject of Pulitzer Prize-winning photography The Vulture and the Little Girl taken by South African photojournalist Kevin Carter. Carter died by suicide shortly after being awarded the prize, possibly a result of trauma from witnessing the effects of the famine first-hand.
