Ethiopia: Avoiding Drought Disaster

The Washington Post published on 23 February 2016 a front page article titled "Trying to Hold Off Disaster" by Paul Schemm and Aida Muluneh.

Ethiopia is facing a devastating drought caused by the worst El Nino in a generation.  Aid agencies warn that food aid could run out as soon as May.  Famine can be avoided, however, if the international community steps in with adequate quantities of emergency food aid.
