Ukraine Ship With Grain Aid For Ethiopia Docks in Djibouti

The first shipment of grain from Ukraine to Africa on the MV Brave Commander since the war began has docked in Djibouti.

The MV Brave Commander is carrying 23,000 tonnes of Ukrainian wheat.

It is bound for Ethiopia.

The country is in desperate need of food aid.

It took two weeks to travel from southern Ukraine.

The wheat will supply Ethiopia with feed for 1.5 million people for a month.

However, the amount is said to be not enough for a country facing several humanitarian challenges.

Ukraine and Russia reached a deal with Turkey and the UN last month to open a corridor allowing for food shipments.
