Crisis in Ethiopia’s Tigray region:
More than 350,000 suffering from famine conditions
Send nutrition and emergency aid now >>
Friend: The ongoing humanitarian crisis in Ethiopia’s Tigray region has reached a catastrophic breaking point.
New data shows us a heartbreaking picture of the devastation that millions of Ethiopians have faced in the past eight months: At least 5.5 million people are facing high levels of acute food insecurity and 350,000 are in what the UN classifies as a phase 5 catastrophe –– the highest level.
Friend, 40% of the people in phase 5 are children and they need our help. Rush a gift to help UNICEF deliver much-needed nutrition and emergency support to vulnerable children in Tigray and across Ethiopia. Donate now >> |
Violent conflict has gripped Tigray since November 2020, displacing millions within Ethiopia and in neighboring Sudan. The violence has not only caused this food insecurity crisis, it also continues to destroy critical infrastructure and threaten the lives of millions of civilians.
UNICEF is on the ground in Tigray providing emergency relief, but our work in the region is significantly underfunded. The truth is: Without increased support from people like you, Friend, at-risk children will fall deeper into food insecurity and closer to potential death during this looming famine.
Your emergency gift right now helps us provide treatment for severe acute malnutrition, deliver therapeutic food and supply other critical aid that can protect vulnerable children and their families. Please, donate now.
