Africa: A world addicted to hunger

In Ethiopia, some 12.6 million people require food aid, up from 11.3 million. Donors have pledged enough to meet about 82 percent of food needs, but only 54 percent has been delivered. Sound familiar? This alert was issued three years ago by the Famine Early Warning Systems Network. Guess what? Ethiopia appeared again this year on FEWS NET's list of "current emergencies," alongside Somalia,
Zimbabwe, and Chad.
