Ethiopians ‘are smiling’
NZPA-Reuter Nairobi The Nobel peace prize winner, Mother Teresa, said at the week-end that conditions in Ethiopian famine relief camps had greatly improved since her visit last December.
“I found the people and children very, very much better and smiling ... the situation is more controlled and people are receiving food from well-wishers,” she said on arrival in Nairobi yesterday. In Ethiopia she visited camps for famine victims during a three-day stay and is in Kenya to attend the forty-third Eucharistic Congress of the Roman Catholic Church from August 11 to 18.
She said the Ethiopian Government was doing its best to evacuate people from feeding centres to their original homes now that rains had arrived, but there was a shortage of seeds.
