[ ] · · David Blumenfeld, Hunger In Ehtiopia

“God Comes to the Hungry in the Form of Food”
Gandhi.

Drought in Ethiopia is as old as the land itself. The first recorded famine due to drought in the region dates as far back as 253 BC. Over the centuries millions have died from hunger and drought related diseases. While other countries have learned to cope with the problem, Ethiopias population continues to suffer. While some place blame on government inefficiency and corruption, others attribute the situation to a lack of farming technology and irrigation as well as ineffective food distribution.

Historically, Ethiopia bears witness to the worst droughts on the planet. Record-low rainfall often leads to failed-crops, loss of livestock, malnutrition, and a sharp increase in disease. However, perhaps the most tragic manifestation of this ongoing tragedy is child hunger.
