Ethiopia

After three years of drought, people in several regions of Ethiopia are suffering from hunger. Paul Jeffrey went to Ethiopia in April of 2000 to cover the drought for Action by Churches Together (ACT). These are some photos from his trip. The text of his written reports can be found on ACT's website. Go to www.act-intl.org and then click on news.
