The conflict in Tigray, which has been ongoing since November 2020, has so far forced 730,000 people to flee their home villages. According to the United Nations, eight million people in the northern Ethiopian region are in need of humanitarian aid, or 80 percent of the population. We are providing aid on the ground with our partner.
The need is great in Tigray: The conflict has recently spread, triggering a humanitarian crisis that, according to UN estimates, has left 400,000 people in Tigray starving. Many people are therefore seeking refuge in the neighboring regions of Afar and Amhara, where the humanitarian need is also great. Near the border with Tigray, 81 percent of the population suffers from malnutrition, according to a government survey. In Tigray, Amhara and Afar, nutritional aid is therefore the top priority for the majority of people affected by the conflict.
We are still acitve in the area to provide several services as
Thank you so much for your support that enables us to help!
