Meanwhile, the World Food Programme is expanding its operations in Ethiopia, in response to an urgent request from the Government. WFP plans to reach more than 4.5 million people with food aid, up from approximately 3.2 million people now, even as it faces a major shortfall in food and funds.
The agency is also providing aid to roughly 4 million people elsewhere in the Horn of Africa. As we mentioned yesterday, the Regional Humanitarian Partnership Team in Nairobi says that more than 14 million people in the region will require urgent food aid and other assistance in the coming months.
