Region and in Eritrea. Since 1998, the Eritrean-Ethiopian war has made shipping difficult or impossible. Ethiopia used to enjoy free movement of shipping through its former ally Eritrea, before their current war. The war between Ethiopia and Eritrea has been fought to a standoff over a thinly inhabited area on their frontier. More than 70,000 have died since hostilities began in May 1998.
Accusations continue between Ethiopian and Eritrean governments over who started the conflict.
Please pray that this relief effort may proceed to the Glory of God and the relief of many people.
