Summary
March 2020 – Ongoing drought and population displacement caused by intercommunal conflict since late 2017 have left at least 8.4 million Ethiopians in need of humanitarian assistance, including emergency food rations, treatment for acute malnutrition and other healthcare services, and safe water and sanitation services.

Description (French)
Mars 2020 – Compte tenu de la sécheresse persistante et des déplacements de population causés par les conflits intercommunautaires depuis la fin de 2017, au moins 8,4 millions d’Éthiopiens ont besoin d’une aide humanitaire, notamment de rations alimentaires d’urgence, de traitements contre la malnutrition aiguë et d’autres services de santé, ainsi que d’eau potable et de services d’assainissement. De plus, quelque 700 000 réfugiés, originaires du Soudan du Sud, de la Somalie, de l’Érythrée et du Soudan, vivent désormais à l’intérieur des frontières de l’Éthiopie et demeurent tributaires de l’aide internationale pour répondre à leurs besoins fondamentaux.
Avec l’appui d’AMC, Concern fournit des traitements contre la malnutrition aiguë à 20 000 Sud-Soudanais qui se sont réfugiés dans la région de Gambella en Éthiopie. Les activités du projet comprennent des interventions thérapeutiques et préventives visant à réduire les taux de malnutrition aiguë modérée et sévère.
Expected Results
