ETHIOPIA: MAKE A DONATION AND GIVE YOUR HELP
HELP FAMILIES FACING FEAR, DISPLACEMENT AND UNCERTAINTY
Renewed violence in Tigray, Ethiopia, has once again trapped families in the midst of conflict. Fighting and drone strikes have disrupted essential services, forced people to flee their homes and overwhelmed hospitals with patients suffering from serious injuries. Many people find themselves stranded, unable to locate their loved ones or reach safety.
The ICRC is responding to this crisis, helping those who need it most. Since the latest escalation in August 2026, we have taken a number of steps, including:
- + Distributing medicines and medical supplies, including to Ayder Hospital in Mekele;
- + Supporting Ethiopian Red Cross ambulances so that they can transport wounded people despite fuel shortages;
- + Providing emergency supplies to thousands of displaced families;
- + Helping keep Ethiopian Red Cross community kitchens running by providing meals to people in need.
Your support helps us continue this vital work and much more.
The ICRC has been working in Ethiopia for many years. We maintain direct contact with all parties to the fighting, enabling our teams to reach communities most affected by the conflict, wherever they are and whoever they may be.
Thousands of families across Ethiopia need your help now more than ever.
Please consider making a donation today to help families in Tigray access emergency medical care and meet their most basic needs.
Thank you for standing in solidarity with the people of Tigray.
93.5% of the donations we receive are used directly to finance our field operations.
