It's heartbreaking to read about kids actually crying from hunger. Glad the Church programs are staying put and still feeding them even as the big aid groups pull out.

Παιδιά που κλαίνε από την πείνα είναι τρομερό πράγμα. Χαίρομαι που τα προγράμματα της Εκκλησίας μένουν και συνεχίζουν να τα ταΐζουν, έστω κι αν οι μεγάλες οργανώσεις φεύγουν. Ελπίζω να βρουν τρόπο να φτάσει το φαγητό σε περισσότερα παιδιά.

It's awful to think of little ones crying from actual hunger like that. Good that the Church programs are sticking around and keeping the meals going when the big groups leave. I wonder how the Catholic Near East Welfare Association gets the food out to those remote spots in Ethiopia.
