Prepared by: Raya Development Foundation (RDF)
Reporting Period: June – September 2022
Project Status: Successfully Completed
Background
Due to the ongoing conflict between the federal government of Ethiopia and the regional government of Tigray, civilians in the region have faced severe humanitarian challenges. Economic blockades and service blackouts have led to widespread poverty, with many families unable to meet basic nutritional needs. RDF identified three of the most affected towns—Enda Aba Tsahma (Edaga-Arbi), Emba Seneyti (Nebelet), and Bora-Selawa—and launched a targeted emergency food relief initiative to support women with children suffering from acute food shortages.
