ICRC and ERCS deliver emergency relief to people affected by the fighting in Tigray
Format
The ICRC and Ethiopian Red Cross Society (ERCS) jointly delivered emergency relief supplies to internally displaced people (IDPs) as a result of the fighting in Tigray region.
The emergency relief consisting of plastic shelters, blankets, sleeping mats, kitchen sets, jerry cans and bars of soap were delivered to 1,146 IDP households (more than 5,730 individuals) sheltered in Mekelle City in early January. Distributions have also been completed in AbduRafi (304 households), Adigrat (2,860 households) and Shire (4,815 households) in February and will continue in other prioritized areas.
Temesgen however said the people living in the IDPs site also need food aid. "Children cry asking for bread, and sometimes you need to skip a meal in order to feed them."
