As severe hunger ripples across northern Ethiopia, the World Food Programme (WFP) is ramping up efforts to deliver lifesaving assistance to three million people in the coming weeks to avert 'a major humanitarian catastrophe', the agency announced on Tuesday.

'WFP, with our partners, are working tirelessly to reach millions of Ethiopians at risk of hunger in the first quarter of the year to help keep a major humanitarian catastrophe at bay,' said Chris Nikoi, the agency's interim Country Director in Ethiopia.
