15m people in Ethiopia will need food aid by 2016 – BBC News
The United Nations has warned that more than 15 million people in Ethiopia will be in need of food aid by the beginning of 2016 because of a severe drought. A lack of rain has meant that crop yields in the worst-affected areas are down by 90% this year.
The Ethiopian government has set aside nearly £130m to deal with the crisis but the UN says a further £330m is needed.
Clive Myrie reports from Kobo in northern Ethiopia.

Saudi Arabia has said three people have been killed after the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen attacked Riyadh airport on Thursday.
It’s the latest in series of attacks on airports across the country, as the conflict escalates between Saudi-supported Yemeni government forces and the Houthis.
Elsewhere a US Treasury official has told the BBC that economic pressure from America has Tehran ‘on its knees’, and they hope the tactic will end the current regime in Iran.
Meanwhile Iran’s president has said his country will not walk away from peace negotiations, despite threats from the United States.

Booker prize winner Margaret Atwood describes herself as an “observer,” but in her many novels she has often offered us a portal to understanding, be it about totalitarianism, or the idea of other forms of life, future and past.
In her latest book, Old Babes in the Woods, she navigates death and the loss of loved ones, in short stories which are both acerbic and hilarious, as well as adding to her fantastical oeuvre, such as an octopus-like creature narrating its own interpretation of a folk tale.
Seven of the stories feature the characters Tig and Nell, a thinly-veiled portrayal of Atwood and her long-life partner Graeme Gibson who died four years ago. Margaret Atwood began her interview with Kirsty Wark with a reading from the darkly funny story, Widows.

The Ethiopia government needs to change the mentality,the nice land in Gambela has been given to Saud Arabia company to cultivate export rice,leaving Ethiopians fighting with flies
It is hard to understand why with technology we have now ,a country needs Everytime begging foods
Ethiopia has rivers and lakes ,if Egypt can feed his people ,why Ethiopia can't,
Another problems ,these peoples are very religious , instead of thinking how to get solutions,they pray God to give the solution in vain

Reports like this make no sense if it doesn't introduce the context. Ethiopian economy has been going very well for a long time, being hailed as the miracle of Africa, the fastest growing in the world for quite a number of years (as of the time of the report). I don't doubt that somewhere in Ethiopia someone is starving, but there has to be context: how many are truly affected, where, and why. Otherwise if one just pick a few people and say "here are starving people", well you can go to a rich country like the US and find people who need food aid.
