VIDEO: Ethiopia faces food crisis

Wed Sep 3, 2008 2:33am EDT
Sept. 2 - Top UN aid official John Holmes has called for greater international efforts to help millions of Ethiopians suffering severe drought.

Some eight million people need urgent food relief and another 4.6 million need emergency assistance.

A lack of rain in the main February to April wet season has also left at least 75,000 children under the age of five at risk of malnutrition.
