Humanitarian partners continue to face challenges and operational constraints in delivering assistance across northern Ethiopia. Below are some common areas of concern, which were reported this week from across the clusters. Cluster-specific gaps are included following to the cross-cutting gaps. 

Gaps: (all clusters) 

  • Insufficient amount of cash in Tigray to pay salaries for staff, including teachers, health workers, and contractors to implement humanitarian programs.

  • Insufficient amount of humanitarian supplies entering Tigray, including food and medicines due to bureaucratic impediments. 

  • Insufficient amount of fuel in Tigray to transport supplies, distribute food, water, and other life-saving assistance, relocate displaced people from schools, and improve IDP sites, forcing partners to halt or significantly reduce operations. 

  • Limited or no access to some areas due to ongoing fighting and insecurity

  • Low funding levels amidst the large number of IDPs in northern Ethiopia and mounting needs.

  • Lack of electricity and telecommunications in Tigray and parts of Amhara and Afar causing delay or lack of reporting and information on the situation. 

  • Limited presence of partners in some areas of northern Ethiopia due to lack of financial resources and capacity.

  • Lack of commercial commodities in the private market in northern Ethiopia leading to price increase.

  • Insufficient storage capacity and transportation of commodities in Amhara.
