[Christianity Today UK] July 22, 2005--Christian Aid UK has said that the Famine Early Warning Network (FEWS) has given a warning that approximately 18 million people are facing extreme food shortages in East Africa. Ethiopia seems to be the worst affected with more than half of that number coming from that country. Christian Aid has been quick to reveal the shocking figures, but also told how this scale of food shortage was not unusual for the people of Ethiopia.
