The Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) reports that food insecurity in Ethiopia continues to worsen. According to a recent assessment by the Ethiopian Government and its humanitarian partners, roughly 6.4 million people now require emergency food assistance just to stay alive. That is an increase of about 40 per cent since June. As a result, more people are migrating from rural to urban areas in search of food.
Three logistics hubs are being set up to enhance food-aid delivery to nearly 2 million people in the region. The World Health Organization (WHO) and UNICEF have also been helping to control disease outbreaks.
