ETHIOPIA EMERGENCY

People in the Tigray region of Ethiopia are in crisis.

Fearing for their lives and the lives of their families, thousands of children, women and men have been forced to flee – there are 1.7 million people displaced in Tigray, and thousands more in Sudan. Most people travelled with nothing, and many are without adequate shelter. More than 5.5 million people are threatened by hunger.
UNHCR is on the ground – and we are needed more than ever.

Please help us meet needs and save lives.

Our teams are rapidly working to address the critical situation of forcibly displaced families with emergency shelter and core relief items like blankets, sleeping mats and jerry cans. But we need your support to scale up our supplies and get ready to respond as the situation worsens.

  3 things to know about

  Ethiopia Tigray emergency

   

 

1. A full-scale humanitarian crisis is unfolding in Ethiopia’s Tigray region.

Since the violence began in early-November 2020, refugees have been arriving at remote border points that take hours to reach the nearest towns in Sudan.

The overall security situation remains complex and fluid, hindering effective delivery of lifesaving assistance to the most affected populations, including refugees and internally displaced people.

2. Many of the people forced to flee the conflict are women and children.

Thousands of refugees fleeing the ongoing fighting in Ethiopia’s Tigray region are women and children. Most left with barely any belongings and arrived exhausted from walking long distances over harsh terrain.

3. With no end in sight to the conflict.

The steady stream of daily arrivals is overwhelming the current capacity to provide aid. More support is urgently needed from donors to be able to continue assisting the increasing number of people forced to flee the conflict in Ethiopia’s Tigray region.
