Girls bear brunt of Ethiopia food crisis

“Where are all the men?” I ask.

“Not here,” Tsala replies. She’s walking slowly uphill from her village in the south of Ethiopia, with a child strapped to her back and 2 daughters scuffing slowly behind her. The girls’ cheekbones look like they might push through their flesh and they totter on their legs, as if they were stilts. This family is hungry, sick and heading from their village to Plan’s food distribution point.

“Are the men not hungry too? Is your husband?” I continue.

“Yes, he does not have enough to eat – many men do not,” the 40-year-old replies, “but we are the ones to bring food to them.”
