It is recalled that people living in different zones of Amhara region have been severely damaged by drought. Immediate attention is needed to reverse the damage of the drought before people die. Elderly, children and women are especially vulnerable to drought. In response to this, the Forum of Higher Education Institutions in the Amhara Region has made an estimate of two million birr for food grains for North Gondar and Waghimra zones in drought-prone areas.
