 The United States on Tuesday pledged 70 million dollars (45 million euros) in food aid for Ethiopia where 4.5 million people are in need of emergency food aid.

Some 95,000 metric tonnes of food is expected in the Horn of Africa nation next month, a statement from the US Agency for International Development (USAID) said.

Ethiopia will receive an additional 10 million dollars in medical supplies, water services and other non-food aid.

Last week Ethiopia said the number of people in need of food aid had risen to 4.5 million from from 2.2 million due to failed rains, as it issued a plea for international help.
