Ethiopia is the second most populous country in Africa and suffers from a major humanitarian crisis due to a hostile climate, conflicts, and disease outbreaks.
Growing ethnic violence is currently the biggest driver of displacement. Violent inter-ethnic clashes have resulted in massive displacement with 2 million people having fled the Oromiya–Somali regions conflict and the West Guji–Gedeo conflict. Meanwhile, more than half a million people are displaced due to floods and drought while the influx of refugees from South Sudan and Eritrea continues.
As the country recovers from two successive droughts, an estimated 7.8 million people are still in need of emergency food assistance, in addition to the 7.9 million who are considered chronically vulnerable.
