Ethiopia accused France’s leading medical aid agency, Medecins Sans Frontieres, of undermining famine relief efforts with negative publicity and invited it to leave Wollo province. A spokesman for the French agency had said that if it were not allowed to open a feeding center for 5,000 malnourished children in Wollo, it would withdraw from Ethiopia. Meanwhile, Kurt Jansson, the retiring head of the U.N. relief operation, said an estimated 1 million people died of starvation in Ethiopia in the last year.
