The United States Agency for International Development says it plans to restart food aid deliveries for millions of people across Ethiopia in December, five months after it halted its nationwide program over a massive corruption scheme by local officials.

ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia (AP) — The lead U.S. development agency plans to restart food aid deliveries for millions of people across Ethiopia in December, five months after it took the extraordinary step of halting its nationwide program over a massive corruption scheme by local officials.

U.S. Agency for International Development officials on Wednesday described wide-ranging new reforms in handling of food aid to the East African country to try to prevent a repeat of what they have said may have been the largest theft of food aid in history.

    @burchalka the humanitarian aid situation there is difficult as well.

    However, there are dozens of stories about Gaza all over the fediverse. I don’t see why we have to turn this Ethiopia story into yet another one.

    What’s wrong with actually discussing the situation in Ethiopia? In Tigray, in Oromia?

    The suspension has affected 20 million Ethiopians.
