The humanitarian needs in Ethiopia are escalating at an alarming rate because of armed conflict and climate change. The country is grappling with an increase in natural disasters, disease outbreaks, and desert locust infestations, all of which are contributing to a surge in extreme poverty. As a result, more than 10 million people across the nation are in urgent need of humanitarian assistance.

The ongoing conflict between the government and armed groups in northern Ethiopia, which began in November 2020, has triggered mass migration, widespread food insecurity and a devastating loss of life and injury.
