UK’s £38m aid boost to drought-hit Ethiopia in a bid to prevent famine

[CelticViking]

Britain is to increase its aid budget to drought-hit Ethiopia, a minister announced yesterday.
Some £38million will be sent to the African country as it battles to find enough food for the 1.3million who are starving as a result of the nation’s worst drought for a decade.
The money comes from the existing aid budget rather than from other areas of public expenditure. It will see the UK’s spend on Ethiopian aid rise by more than ten per cent from £330million to £368million.

The money should go towards Britons. I'm sure £38 million could go towards the NHS funding on cancer treatments currently deemed "too expensive".

It's not like anything good will be saved with this money in Ethiopia.

It's not like they really have the money anyhow, Britain is running a deficit atm so add another 38m to the national debt.
