The 2020 Nobel Peace
Laureate, the UN World Food Programme Prefers
Aggressive Muslims of Gaza to Peaceful Christians of Ethiopia
☪ The
Union of Ishmael and Esau that is shaking the world continues!
The U.N. World
Food Programme (WFP) said Thursday that severe funding shortages have
forced it to slash food rations for nearly 780,000 refugees in
Ethiopia, pushing already vulnerable populations toward rising
hunger.
The cuts, which
began in October, reduce rations from 60% to 40% of a full food
basket. This provides each person with less than 1,000 calories per
day — less than half the recommended daily intake. Only 70,000
newly arrived refugees fleeing conflict in neighboring Sudan and
South Sudan will continue to receive full rations for the next six
months.
Ethiopia hosts
one of the largest refugee populations in Africa, including many from
Sudan and South Sudan.
“We are making
impossible choices,” said Zlatan Milisic, WFP’s country director
and representative for Ethiopia. “Without more funds, these
reductions are just another step towards stopping food distributions
completely, putting the lives of those we currently assist at risk.”
Milisic
emphasized the immediate human impact: “This isn’t a future risk
— it’s happening right now. Every ration cut is a child left
hungrier, a mother forced to skip meals, a family pushed closer to
the edge.”
The agency is
urgently appealing for $230 million to sustain its humanitarian
operations in Ethiopia for the next six months. Without immediate new
funding, WFP said it could be forced to completely suspend all food
assistance for refugees in the coming months.
The situation is
also critical for specialized nutritious foods provided to
malnourished children and mothers. WFP warned that its supplies are
expected to run out completely by December. If that happens, support
for one million malnourished children and pregnant and breastfeeding
women would end.
WFP issued a
similar appeal in April, and donors responded to keep its nutrition
programs running. The agency is now facing a renewed funding crisis.
In addition to
the refugee crisis, WFP is working with the Ethiopian government to
support 700,000 people in the southeastern Somali region, an area hit
by both localized drought and flooding. The agency is stretching
limited supplies there to continue providing full rations.
“Our operations
have been hanging by a thread for months now,” Milisic said. “This
is not only undermining our ongoing support to food insecure
Ethiopians and refugees, but also our preparedness to respond to new
crises.”
This is the
second time WFP has reduced rations for refugees this year, after a
previous cut in May. The gap between humanitarian needs and available
resources has continued to widen.
Between January
and October, WFP supported 4.7 million people in Ethiopia with food
and nutrition assistance, school meals and resilience programs.
Beyond funding, the agency said ongoing insecurity, particularly in
the northern Amhara region, continues to disrupt its humanitarian
operations.

Ethiopia: The U.N. and the U.S. Suspended Food Aid to Christian
Tigray, for This Satanic Purpose
♱ Tonight
and tomorrow we Ethiopian Orthodox Christians celebrate The
Feast Day which marks the discovery of The True Cross of Jesus
Christ.
The
discovery of this revered relic within Christianity can be traced
back to the fourth (4th) century when the mother of the Roman Emperor
Constantine, Queen Helena received divine guidance to its location.
According
to legend, Queen Helena, now canonized, had a dream. In the dream,
she was told to make a bonfire from which the smoke would show her
the location where the True Cross of Jesus was buried.
After
doing as she was instructed and the bonfire lit, the smoke rose high
up to the sky and returned to the ground, exactly where the Cross had
been buried. Thus began the yearly celebration of the discovery.
According to the Ethiopian
Orthodox Church, the discovery of the True Cross is traditionally
believed to have been in March, but Meskel was moved to September to
avoid holding a festival during Lent, and because the church
commemorating the True Cross in Jerusalem was dedicated during
September.

far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus
Christ, by which[a] the world has been crucified to me, and I to the
world.”
