Tadesse, a father of ten, is well known in his village in Tigray, for being a hard worker. But for years now, recurrent droughts in the region have devastated Tadesse and countless other farmers crops, leaving their families hungry.
"This year's drought is severe than any other year before. It has happened for the last four years. There is no food, water for us and fodder for our animals," shares Tadesse.
It's not hard to imagine how hard years of drought have been on Taddasse's ten children. How it has impacted their health. How difficult it has been just to keep going with no energy reserves. And now, the unthinkable has happened. Things have gotten even worse.
Amidst the conflict that has broken out, the emergency food supplies that families like Taddasse's rely on has run out. They are hungry and afraid.
