Due to natural disasters and irregular man-made situations, these people are in great distress and need urgent help, said Edrmc Public Relations Director Debebe Zewde.
It is a very complicated situation, he commented, with a total of 4.6 million people displaced and given the large number of those in need of assistance across Ethiopia, distributions so far do not meet their needs.
“In this part of the country in particular, more than 149,496 tons of food have been distributed,” he said in an interview with media outlet Fana Broadcasting Corporate.
Zewde also stated that one million 562,000 76 tons of medicines, one million 113,000 952 liters of fuel and more than one million birr (about $19,000) were delivered in the northern state of Tigray.
Along with the government, the World Food Program and a coalition of 29 non-governmental organizations have provided food for everyone, but their efforts and efforts are not enough, he reiterated.
One of the tasks of the Edrmc is to warn to avoid an irreversible crisis, for which “everyone who needs food every day will have to provide prolonged assistance,” he stressed.
