Emergency Response

Situation: the security situation in Northern Ethiopia is highly unpredictable, with the recent escalation of heavy clashes between the government and Tigray Forces and their respective allied forces in the Amhara and Afar regions. Since then, Ethiopia’s Minister of Justice has declared a nationwide state of emergency.
Over 840,000 have been displaced due to conflict in the two regions, according to estimates by the Government of Ethiopia. High levels of food insecurity in Northern Ethiopia remain a major concern. Urgent action is needed to reach the displaced people with emergency food and other related assistance.
