More than 9.4 million people in Tigray and neighboring regions of Afar and Amhara the northern part of Ethiopia, are in dire need of humanitarian support, including health care, due to the conflict that erupted at the end of 2020 which left thousands injured and traumatized and had a severe impact on the families’ lives and livelihoods. Over 2.1 million people have been displaced and are living in crowded settings with limited access to water and sanitation infrastructure.
Over half of the health facilities in Tigray are not operational. Access to health care in the affected areas remains limited, making the scale-up of the health response difficult even as the population’s needs are growing, especially for children, women, and internally displaced people.
