Amhara, Gambella, Benishangul, Afar, Tigray, SNNP, Diredawa and Harar Regions. Specific protectionrelated issues were identified and highlighted in all the regions. -
Access to basic services for the most vulnerable people (e.g. IDPs, elderly, or people with disabilities) is very limited as shown by the November 2016 Meher assessments. Other protection concerns reported include: sexual violence against women and children, separation of children from families, psychosocial distress, physical violence, harmful traditional practices and displacement.
