Ethiopian Crisis Demands Immediate Action

Doctor Without Borders is reporting a humanitarian crisis in the Ogaden region of Ethiopia:

Médecins Sans Frontières said 400,000 people, including thousands forcibly displaced when their villages were burned down, had little or no access to medicine due to a government-installed blockade.

MSF said that following an exploratory mission to Ogaden in July which revealed a "deeply precarious situation", repeated requests to work in the worst hit areas have been denied by both regional authorities and the government in Addis Abada.>>

Write to your congressman to report the humanitarian crisis in the Ogaden region of Ethiopia and demand pressure be put on those preventing aid to the people of this region. There are NGOs there trying to help but they are being prevented from saving lives.
