With 6,2 million people on the precipice of starvation, Ethiopia is urgently begging the international community for food aid, reports BBC News Channel.
The request arose at a donor meeting discussing the impact of a devastating drought currently ravaging parts of East Africa.
The UN’s World Food Programme says $285million (£173million) is urgently needed in the next six months to avert a disastrous consequence as fears grow that the numbers of the hungry have a potential to surge.
