Addis Abeba (Fides Service) - Dramatic reports continue to arrive
from Ethiopia where millions are in danger of starving to death.
The Salesians their VIS volunteers launch a dramatic appeal: "There
is urgent need of food, water, medicines and everything else"
says Fr Cesare Bullo, co-ordinator of the Salesians in Ethiopia.
"Here the people are at the end of their tether, reduced
to skin and bones. The pastures are dry, and many of the animals,
the only means of sustenance, are dead. We are preparing to watch,
unable to do anything to prevent it, the most serious food crisis
ever known in Ethiopia." The Salesians and their VIS volunteers
have been working here since 1975. (Fides Service 27/11/2002)
