The UN says the worst drought in 30 years in Ethiopia means 400,000
children are suffering from severe acute malnutrition and 10 million more need
food aid.
Save the Children, the international non-governmental
organisation, says the drought in Ethiopia represents as big a potential threat
to children's lives as the war in Syria. "We only have two emergencies in
the world that we have categorised as category one. Syria is one and Ethiopia
is the second.”
Ethiopia has vast water resources, but not the irrigation
infrastructure to get it to those in need.
