Concern grows over looming famine in Ethiopia | DW News
Concern is growing over a looming famine in eastern Africa, where the UN's World Food Programme has estimated that 20 million people are in need of assistance.
Aid groups say conflict, corruption and drought are all contributing factors. In Ethiopia's war-torn Tigray and Amhara regions, the government recently confirmed that hundreds of people have died due to starvation in recent months -- a rare acknowledgement of the crisis. DW's Mariel Mueller looks at the situation outside the Tigray region's capital, Mekele.
