Meanwhile, 16 million people in Ethiopia, Somalia, Kenya and Eritrea are facing a major food crisis in the next two months. Interational Aid, a Christian relief and development agency located in Michigan, is ready to provide the starving people with food and medicine. I-A is sending an assessment team to Ethiopia to expedite a response plan and visit the drought stricken areas. They hope that through the physical assistance, many people will come to the saving knowledge of Christ.
