The Oromia Physicians’ Association (OPA ), a non-governmental professional association, said the prolonged drought in Borana zone of Oromia regional state in Southwestern Ethiopia has apparently brought the most drastic impact on the health of the people. In a statement sent to Addis Standard the association said “people are dying of hunger and treatable conditions, with a death toll on the rise due to the loss of millions of livestock and little to no food supply”.
