Friend – millions of Ethiopians in Tigray are in desperate need of humanitarian aid. Farmers like Abdulaly, pictured above, had already lost nearly half their crops due to climate-fueled plagues of locusts, and the health and economic impacts of COVID-19 had left many struggling to get by.

Recently, conflict in the region has broken out, causing families to flee their homes and farmers to abandon their crops out of necessity. Before the conflict, more than a million people in the region were in need of urgent help and now, as the violence has cut people off from public services and food, that number has more than quadrupled.

This is just one of the many crises that Oxfam and the local organizations we partner with are responding to right now, and just one of the regions where we are mobilizing to deliver resources to vulnerable communities. Friend, we need to get food and water to people as soon as we can. Save lives in Ethiopia and around the world – donate now >> ([link removed] )

While continuing our humanitarian and emergency response in 65 countries, Oxfam is working to provide resources like clean water and food assistance to families in Ethiopia, and we’re calling on both sides of the conflict to negotiate a peaceful resolution. We've been working with partners in Ethiopia since the 1970s, providing clean water, food aid, and establishing long-term projects that assist farmers and promote gender justice to more than 1.8 million people. Now, we need to ramp up our efforts to help families get through this crisis and fight injustice worldwide.

The destruction of a locust plague, the hardships of a conflict, the difficulty of a pandemic – alone, any of these events has the potential to keep a family trapped in poverty. But together, each individual crisis is compounded, and the combination can be devastating. We must work together to stand up for families suffering under the injustice of poverty, in Ethiopia and around the world.
