Ethiopia: The famine report that shocked the world

It is 30 years since Ethiopia was in the grip of one of the worst famines to ever hit the country.

Shocking pictures filmed by a BBC News team sparked a global effort to raise funds to help.

Former minister Dawit Giorgis was in charge of relief work for Ethiopia's government.

He spoke to Witness about his memories of the time.
