GODE, ETHIOPIA-- The U.S. Air Force delivered food and relief supplies Friday to flood victims in eastern Ethiopia, where at least 80 people have died and 217,000 have been left homeless.
The crew of the C-130 cargo plane delivered food, water containers, plastic sheeting, bedding and water purification materials in a two-day operation near the Somali border, said spokesman Capt. Jonathan Friedman. Some 48 tons of aid were delivered Friday.
Operation Unity Eclipse was a joint effort by the Ethiopian agency and the U.S.-led Combined Joint Task Force, Horn of Africa.
