Ethiopia - Access Snapshot - Tigray region (As of 31 March 2021)
Format
Humanitarian partners access to Tigray improved in March, with the replacement of the previous clearance process for the deployment of international aid workers at the Federal level with a new flexible notification system and further flexibility in the movement of relief cargo to the region. Despite these marked improvements, access to large areas continues to be impeded by insecurity, and the humanitarian response remains limited, particularly in rural hard-to-reach areas.
Five months since the start of the conflict, the population in rural areas (80 percent before the conflict), including those living in major towns in the North-Western such as Sheraro, Zana, Endabaguna and the whole Western zone, continue to lack access to essential services such as electricity, health, water and sanitation, and education.

Youngsters play in front of a damaged truck belonging to the Ethiopian Defense Forces in the village of Bisober, in Ethiopia’s Tigray region on December 9, 2020. – Tigrayan forces settled in the school several months ago. The November 14 killings represent just one incident of civilian suffering in Bisober, a farming village home to roughly 2,000 people in southern Tigray. In retrospect, Bisober residents say, the first sign of the conflict came seven months ago, when members of the Tigray Special Forces took over the village elementary school, which had been emptied because of the coronavirus pandemic.

The first shells landed before dawn, crashing through tin-roofed mud homes and sending Jano Admasi’s neighbours fleeing for the cacti-dotted hills around her village in Ethiopia’s northern Tigray region.
