Northern Ethiopia is facing a severe humanitarian crisis as the region, already battered by war, is now being devastated by drought. The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA) reports that millions of people and livestock are affected, with the situation drawing comparisons to the catastrophic famine of 1983-85, when hundreds of thousands died from starvation. The UN and the Ethiopian government are urgently calling for international funding to combat the rising hunger and malnutrition in the region.
