Ethiopia hit by the worst drought in decades
Patrik Ekløf (18.12.2015)
“The longer it takes for the humanitarian assistance to reach the people in need, the larger the impact of the drought will have in the worst affected areas of Ethiopia and the region”, says Deputy Secretary General Geir Olav Lisle. He has just returned from a visit to the Sitti Zone in the north-eastern part of the Somali region of Ethiopia.
Key issues:
:: 10.2 million people in need of humanitarian food assistance
:: 435,000 children severely acute malnourished
:: 1.4 billion USD humanitarian appeal for 2016 launched
