HELP! Ethiopia in crisis.
Ethiopia calls for international help as drought bites. Prime Minister Hailemariam Deselagn says food aid provided so far has been too little, too late.
Ethiopia's leader has urged the world to donate more towards food aid he says is needed to fight a drought that has left more than 10 million people hungry.
Aid agencies and the government have said they must raise more than $1.4 bn of aid, but that only about half of that amount has been collected.
The appeal is the third largest in the world after those for Syria and Yemen.
Ethiopia "should not be neglected by any means despite all the other crises that are going on elsewhere in the world," Prime Minister Hailemariam Deselagn told the Associated Press news agency in an interview.
The US has been the biggest donor, giving more than $532 million in humanitarian aid to Ethiopia since October 2014.
