More than 1.7 million children and adults are displaced as a result of Ethiopia’s Tigray conflict and need urgent support with access to food – including therapeutic food for malnourished children – shelter, healthcare, mental health support, clean water and sanitation services.

This is according to the global NGO Save the children. Almost 5 000 children, Save the Children says are separated from their parents by the conflict with many living in unsafe and dire conditions in informal camps.
