More food aid required

    NAIROBI
    Ethiopia’s Federal Disaster Prevention and Preparedness Commission has said over 274,000 mt of food assistance is needed up to December this year to rehabilitate people affected by food shortages in the country. According to the Ethopian News Agency, it said some 200,000 mt had already been pledged by donors, but it further urged the donor community to offset the remaining 74,023 mt of relief food. The number of needy people had grown from 5.3 million in July to seven million currently, the commission said.
