Ethiopia’s Tigray region is now peaceful, but extreme hunger afflicts its children
And now, a lack of food stemming from the region’s drought has left the youngest of the children she is raising malnourished. But she recently resorted to traveling to the nearby Finarwa health center in southeastern Tigray to try to keep the 1-year-old baby alive. But months after the end of the conflict, the U.N. and the U.S. halted food aid for Tigray because of a massive scheme by Ethiopian officials to steal humanitarian grain. Food deliveries to Tigray in the second half of last year, but only a small fraction of needy people in Tigray are receiving food aid, humanitarian workers say. A widow named Serawit Wolde with 10 children was in tears as she recounted that five of them were falling ill from hunger.

I have my eclipse glasses and plan to take time to watch it, especially during totality. I plan to attend a watch party to see the eclipse. I may take a quick look, but I won’t make a day out of it. I have to work that day, so it will be difficult to spend much time watching it. A lot depends on what the weather is like that day.

March 7 marked the start of the busy travel season for spring break trips, and TSA says there is an expected 6% increase in travelers from that time through March 25 compared to last year.
