                  Merrill Lynch Middle East/Africa Fund, Inc.
                     Supplement Dated June 22, 1995 to the
                         Prospectus Dated June 22, 1995

                          FOR USE IN THE STATE OF OHIO


     The Fund is a non-diversified, open-end, management investment company.
Consequently, investment in the Fund may involve a higher degree of risk than
investment in open-end, diversified investment companies because, although the
Fund may not purchase more than 10% of the voting securities of any one issuer
with regard to 50% of the Fund's assets, the remaining assets may be invested
without this restriction. See ''Investment Restrictions--Non-Diversified
Status''.

     Notwithstanding the fact that the Board of Directors of the Fund may
determine that a Rule 144A security is liquid and not subject to the 15%
restriction on illiquid securities, the State of Ohio does not recognize Rule
144A securities as securities that are free of restrictions as to resale.
Consequently, to the extent required by Ohio law, the Fund will not invest
more than 50% of its total assets in securities of unseasoned issuers or in
securities that are restricted as to disposition, including Rule 144A
securities.

     This Prospectus must be delivered to Ohio investors prior to the
consummation of the sale of Fund shares.
