A man sells painting and wall hangings in Mercato Market on February 14, 2024 in central Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. More than 20 million Ethiopians are in need of food aid, according to estimates from the UN's Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA). The situation is particularly acute in drought-stricken Tigray, in the country's north, which is still recovering from a two-year war between the Ethiopian government and allied forces on one side, and Tigrayan forces on the other, during which the region's economy was devastated and many were displaced. The combined effects of war and drought have raised the specter of famine, which the federal government in Addis Ababa denies is imminent, saying it is committed to providing aid.
