About 350,000 people in Ethiopia's Tigray in famine
More than 350,000 people in Ethiopia's Tigray are suffering famine conditions, with millions more at risk, according to an analysis by United Nations agencies and aid groups that blamed conflict for the worst catastrophic food crisis in a decade. "The number of people in famine conditions ... is higher than anywhere in the world, at any moment since a quarter million Somalis lost their lives in 2011," U.N. aid chief Mark Lowcock said. Most of the 5.5 million people in Tigray need food aid.
