In Laudato Si’, Pope Francis speaks repeatedly about the devastating effects of climate change and its impact on those who are most vulnerable, those who live in poverty. In a short video, Catholic Relief Services directs our attention to Ethiopians who are suffering from El Nino’s effects. You may prefer to read this one-page briefing on human need in Ethiopia. Tragically, other countries in Sub-Saharan Africa are experiencing the same plight. Support for humanitarian organizations on the front lines is urgently needed.
