While the ongoing border conflict between Ethiopia and Eritrea in the north continues to have major humanitarian repercussions, particularly with respect to the hundreds of thousands of displaced people in Eritrea, in south-eastern Ethiopia, the various weather anomalies which have plagued the region in recent months have taken their toll, leaving a generally malnourished population increasingly vulnerable to the cumulative effects of drought, famine, flooding and insecurity. In response to the situation in south-eastern Ethiopia, the ICRC is continuing to provide complementary food assistance to targeted beneficiaries, whilst expanding its multifaceted assistance programme, which aims to provide people as soon as possible with the necessary means for elf-sufficiency, and in due time, allow an eventual phasing-out of the emergency relief operation.
