Ethiopian Drought 2010
The 2010 Ethiopian drought led to significant humanitarian impacts, with 300,000 deaths and 57 million people affected, primarily due to failing agricultural productivity. Responses included short-term rescue efforts, mid-term rehabilitation, and long-term reconstruction, influenced by political, economic, and geographical factors. Over 4.5 million people required aid, as drought planning was necessary to mitigate the adverse effects of prolonged water shortages.
