OCHA - Situation Report - Highlights ()
- The access situation in Tigray is fluid and constantly changing. Despite recent improvements in access, active conflict in various areas this week restricted humanitarian response.
- In addition to insecurity, humanitarian partners continue to flag challenges with capacity and resources to be able to scale up to the level needed to respond across Tigray.
- Security permitting, humanitarian partners with the capacity and resources to expand into rural areas are looking at how to reach areas where no assistance has yet been provided.
- The Government of Ethiopia is working to reach six Woredas that have not received any food assistance, targeting approximately 300,000 people.
- Women and girls caught in the conflict continue to fall victims of sexual violence and abuse.
