And the rains also came. But it will be three months before the crops they have planted will be harvested. The number of Ethiopians at risk from famine has increased from 8.1 million to 10.5 million this month alone. New areas of the country are now showing signs of being severely affected by the drought. The number of deaths is increasing.
More food is needed from government and non-government organizations.
The International Aid container has arrived in Addis Ababa. It contains foods, medicine, hygiene kits and water purification tablets. The supplies will be distributed to relief centers and clinics by our church partners. Pray that the food will get to millions of suffering Ethiopians like Jihar and Rado. We must be pro-active and act now to prevent another horrible famine in Ethiopia.
