March 2023 - Ethiopia is facing many drivers of humanitarian need, including the ongoing impact of the recent conflict between government and Tigray People’s Liberation Front forces in the north, increasing conflict and insecurity in or between several other regions, a devastating drought in the south and east, and the presence of nearly 900,000 refugees seeking safety on its soil. As a result, Ethiopia currently faces severe food insecurity, acute malnutrition, and significant population displacement. Altogether, more than 20 million people are estimated to require some type of humanitarian assistance in 2023.
