In this case it's a fairly intractable problem. The famine itself was caused by war between the Ethiopian Government and the province of Tigray. Deliberate crop destruction and aid blockades were features of that war.

It seems senior Government officials are involved in diverting and selling grain in peacetime. It doesn't seem the government is all that invested in seeing that aid go to Tigray.

But now the aid is being paused for the rest of Ethiopia as well, and we are seeing more deaths.
