NAIROBI (Reuters) -The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) said on Friday it was temporarily halting its food aid assistance in Ethiopia due to the widespread theft of donations, a day after the United States announced it was doing the same.
More than 20 million people need food aid in Africa's second most-populous nation, largely as a result of the Horn of Africa's worst drought in decades and a two-year conflict in the north that left tens of thousands dead before ending in a truce last year.
