The conflict in northern Ethiopia resulted in more than 2.6 million IDPs, over 240,000 returnees and more than 97,000 refugees & asylum-seekers in the Afar, Amhara and Tigray regions. Over 500 major water supply systems were destroyed. Increased waterborne diseases caused by lack of safe drinking water, poor sanitation and hygiene practices left thousands critically ill. Insufficient WASH facilities in overcrowded IDP camps increased the number of gender-based violence (GBV) cases. CRS and the Ethiopian Catholic Church Social and Development Commission Branch Office (ECC - SDCO) have been among the leading organizations responding to water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) needs across Tigray and Amhara regions. Activities include rehabilitation of water schemes. Overall, 1,002,135 conflict-affected people living in 19 districts were served with life-saving WASH interventions. Under the multisectoral emergency program, the emergency team have been supporting vulnerable communities by: •Providing generators to pump water to households, providing fuel and technical support too. •Distributing cash for repair kit, and other non-food items such as kitchen sets, blankets, sleeping mats, etc. •Providing a grinding mill in IDP camps with full accessories, including supporting with installation and covering labor costs.
