The Associated Press published on 26 June 2021 an article titled "Up to 900,000 in Ethiopia's Tigray Face Famine, US Says."
The article quotes USAID head Samantha Power, who said the United States now estimates that up to 900,000 people in Tigray Region face famine conditions.
This new estimate more than doubles the warning issued earlier this month by the United Nations and aid groups that more than 350,000 faced famine. See USAID's "Ethiopia - Tigray Crisis" dated 16 June 2021.
