THE CAUSES

Why is famine back again?
More than eight million people face starvation in drought-stricken Ethiopia, where one million people were killed by famine 15 years ago.

THE VICTIMS

Eyewitness: Ethiopia's fatal famine
Nita Bhalla reports from a feeding centre in the Ogaden region, where five children are dying daily as a result of severe drought.

AVERTING DISASTER

Tough job ahead in Ethiopia
Food distribution to Ethiopia's starving is threatened by the border war, banditry and abysmal roads.
