Episode 9 – 40th anniversary of the Ethiopian famine
In 1984, Sir Bob Geldof saw the BBC’s ‘Biblical famine’ report from Ethiopia, which sparked ‘Do They Know it’s Christmas?’ and ‘Live Aid’. MAF’s Keith Ketchum recalls how he flew in hundreds of tons of food and enabled the BBC to capture that devastating footage. Sam Baguma from MAF’s disaster response team compares how MAF tackles disasters today.
