Famine returns to Ethiopia

Famine in Southern Ethiopia's Oromia region, 330 km to south west of Addis Ababa has affected the lives of thousands of children. Rains have failed, leading to poor harvests and people are travelling long distances in search of water. The U.N. children's agency UNICEF estimates that 126,000 children are severely malnourished. Only 33,000 are receiving treatment because of what aid workers say is a lack of money.
