Ethiopia - Humanitarian situation
• The humanitarian situation in Ethiopia is deteriorating due to an expanding drought following poor raining seasons. Increasing water and pasture shortages in parts of the country (see map) led to deteriorated livestock production and productivity, deepening food insecurity and raising levels of malnutrition.
• A large number of drought displaced families moved to areas that received rain. This will cause over-grazing of the areas, which may damage the resiliency and the coping mechanisms of the host communities and can diminish the availability of water. Estimations mention a potential increase from 2.9 to 3.9 million food insecure people in need of assistance.
• Measles and meningitis outbreaks are increasing with a funding gap of EUR 32.8 million for the vaccination campaign. Since the beginning of the year, 11 675 measles cases were confirmed.
