Over a million people are facing severe famine in Southern Ethiopia

April 18th, 1992 |

Over a million people are facing severe famine in Southern Ethiopia. At least 7,000 people have already died and more are dying everyday. The famine has been caused by two years of failed rains and widespread civil strife mainly in the provinces of southern Shoa and Sidamo.

In one southern area bordering Kenya, 5,000 people have died in the last five months and at least 10 people are reportedly dying each day.
