The United States has expressed horror at the conditions in Ethiopia, where hundreds of deaths from hunger have been reported after the US and the United Nations paused Food Aid for one-sixth of the country's population due to massive theft of aid. The US Agency for International Development called the aid suspension a measure of last resort, noting the extreme scale and coordination of food aid diversion. Ethiopian government officials are believed to be involved in the theft, which was first discovered in March. The US and UN are demanding the removal of Ethiopian government officials from the aid distribution process before resuming food deliveries.
