ETHIOPIA EMERGENCY Devastating drought, soaring inflation & food insecurity.

The combination of drought, ongoing conflict and soaring inflation mean communities in Afar need urgent assistance.

Drought conditions have taken a massive grip on much of the Afar region. The impact of this prolonged drought is compounded by recent political instability that has already left over a million people facing widespread hunger and malnutrition. Throughout the conflict, the destruction of infrastructure has been widespread, in turn preventing adequate drought responses. 

In response to the worsening food crisis Ethiopiaid is providing additional support to our partner, the Afar Pastoralist Development Association (APDA). 

Together we’re making a difference but we need your help more than ever.
