A ship approached Ukraine on Friday, Aug. 12, 2022, to pick up wheat for hungry people in Ethiopia, in the first food delivery to Africa under a U.N.-brokered plan to unblock grain trapped by Russia’s war and bring relief to some of the millions worldwide on the brink of starvation.

Before the war, Ukraine was seen as the worlds bread basket, exporting 4.5 million tons of agricultural produce a month through its ports. Millions of tons of grain have been stuck due to Russian blockages since February. Under a deal brokered by Turkey and the UN last month, Russia agreed not to target ships in transit, and grain ships started to leave Ukraine as hopes grow for export stability.
