Ethiopia "welcomed" the announcement that the US Development Agency (USAID) would resume the delivery of food aid throughout the country.
"We welcome USAID's decision to resume food aid to Ethiopia. It is imperative to speed up the process of resuming food aid to reach all those in need," said Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Demeke Mekonnen.
Some 20 million people, or 16% of Ethiopia's 120 million inhabitants, are dependent on food aid, as estimated by the UN humanitarian agency.
