"Ethiopia's government has increased to 10.1 million the estimated number of people who desperately need food aid because of a drought.

More than half of them are children, Save the Children says.

The drought, blamed on the El Nino weather phenomenon caused by Pacific Ocean warming, was the worst in 50 years, the charity added."

BBC News had the story December 8, 2015. [2]
