<p>The worsening food security situation in Ethiopia is a significant concern. Ethiopia
faces the triple threat of drought and floods, the worst desert locust outbreak in
generations, and Covid-19. The UN and GoE estimate that 15 million people will be
in need of humanitarian food assistance in the coming months and over 4 million children
and mothers will face acute malnutrition as the full impacts of the triple-threat
crisis materialise. The UK is a committed partner to the Government of Ethiopia and
is supporting food and nutrition responses for the most vulnerable people. The UK
recently announced £17 million for the East Africa desert locust response, bringing
our total contribution up to £25 million.</p>
