World Food Program says its ramping up aid to reach 3 million Ethiopians. Millions more are in need

Associated Press  

The U.N.’s World Food Program says it aims to reach up to 3 million Ethiopians affected by climate change and conflict in the coming weeks, half the number it supported in the East African country before the agency introduced a lengthy aid suspension last year. WFP said it “is now working at pace to deliver food assistance to up to 3 million” in Ethiopia’s Tigray, Afar, Amhara and Somali regions. The agency “is extremely concerned about the deteriorating food security in Northern Ethiopia – where many are already facing severe hunger,” Chris Nikoi, its Ethiopia head, said in a statement issued Tuesday. Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed told lawmakers on Tuesday “there have been no reported deaths attributed to starvation so far” in Tigray and said aid had been dispatched to feed hungry people.
