Flash Update #1 Ethiopia: Oct-Nov-Dec rainy season

Highlights

  • Over 616,000 flood-displaced people require life-saving assistance across multiple sectors.

  • Cessation of rains in the Somali region has allowed more humanitarian access and the beginning of spontaneous returns to some areas, but to damaged houses and livelihoods.

  • Forecast for more rain in South Ethiopia region risks further humanitarian impact.

  • Over 150,000 people received life-saving assistance, including 100,000 with emergency shelter and non-food items, 18,300 with food assistance and 32,000 with water treatment.

  • Lack of funding is a major challenge in the response to floods, scale-up and urgency are key; a CERF rapid response funding of up to US$8 million has preliminarily been approved.
