Ethiopia - Tigray Region Humanitarian Update Situation Report, 11 December 2020
Format
HIGHLIGHTS
Fighting continues between Federal forces and the Tigray People s Liberation Front, and affiliated militias on both sides, according to the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights.
The conflict has driven a dire shortage of vital supplies, including food, water, fuel and cash, seriously affecting people in the whole region, including hundreds of aid workers.
The lack of medical supplies is hampering healthcare workers’ ability to support people and disrupting critical services, including for women who are pregnant or giving birth.
The situation is also dire for people fleeing the conflict towards Afar. Food prices doubled or tripled in most areas and women are now forced to travel up to 25 km to fetch water.
