Humanitarian Situation Background
Ethiopia hosts a large number of refugees: 875,000 from surrounding countries such as South-Sudan, Somalia or Eritrea, and more than 4.5 million internally displaced people due to the conflict in the northern states[1].
Since armed conflict emerged in Ethiopia's Tigray, Amhara and Afar regions in late 2020, a worrying humanitarian crisis has developed in the north of the country. Here alone, there are 2.6 million IDPs and nearly 100,000 refugees in the aforementioned 3 regions. Armed forces regularly block humanitarian aid from accessing rural areas in the Tigray region. In addition, many refugees have no access to communications or electricity, which in turn limits health and water supplies[2].
