Famine in Ethiopia

The famine in Ethiopia refers to a severe food shortage that has historically resulted from a combination of factors including drought, environmental degradation, political instability, and conflict. These issues reduce agricultural productivity, leading to a scarcity of food, which causes widespread hunger and hardship. Famine impacts vulnerable populations the most, creating health crises, displacement, and death. Efforts to address famine involve improving farming practices, managing water resources, and providing humanitarian aid, but challenges remain in ensuring sustainable food security for affected communities.
