Nearly 400 Ethiopians have died of starvation in recent months, say officials
NEARLY 400 people have died of starvation in Ethiopia’s Tigray and Amhara regions in recent months, the national ombudsman said on Tuesday.
It’s a rare admission of hunger-related deaths by Ethiopia’s federal government which usually insists that these reports are “completely wrong.”
Ethiopia’s ombudsman sent experts to the regions, which are gripped by drought and still reeling from a devastating civil war that officially ended 14 months ago.
