The UN Global Emergency Fund #CERF supports rapid humanitarian response for conflict-affected communities in Northern 🇪🇹. This complements ongoing relief efforts by the 🇪🇹 Disaster Risk Management Commission in Tigray & Afar. 🇩🇪 remains a steadfast & reliable donor to the CERF.
Escalating hostilities and renewed insecurity are deepening the humanitarian crisis in northern Ethiopia.

I’ve allocated $8.5M from UN’s Global Emergency Fund CERF to help humanitarians move fast, with shelter, health and nutrition, protection, water and sanitation services.
