“Well, the most important thing that we can do is support the peace process that is happening at the moment. Peace is the foundation stone on which everything else that we do is built. Ehr, but also what we need to do is make sure that we keep supporting the work that is being done by partners on the ground including UNICEF. Emm, the UK has provided 90 million pounds (GBP) worth of support since April 21, that’s enabled us to help a million Ethiopians and also support 330,000 children who are suffering from malnutrition.”

The malaria was being treated and they are recovering quickly from that and those children are now putting on weight and they are growing. So, the money that the British taxpayers give, the work that UNICEF does, it is making a difference and that is why we have to keep going.”

STORYLINE:
UK Foreign Secretary, James Cleverly and UNICEF Ethiopia Representative, Gianfranco Rotigliano visited Afar region, Ethiopia, to witness the impact of the drought on children and families and UNICEF’s emergency response.
The UK Foreign Secretary also visited the WFP Fleet Compound where UKAID/FCDO funded trucks are stationed to deploy emergency food assistance across the country including Tigray. These particular trucks are delivering aid to communities in Afar.
The UK Foreign Secretary James Cleverly and UNICEF Ethiopia Representative, Gianfranco Rotigliano, also visited a UNICEF supported Mobile Health and Nutrition Team (MHNT) in Dubti Woreda (district), Afar region, Ethiopia. UNICEF, in collaboration with the Afar Regional Health Bureau (RHB), has deployed 36 MHNTs to provide basic lifesaving health and nutrition services to families in hard-to-reach areas without static health facilities; and to prevent mortality brought on by emergencies such as drought, conflict, floods, or disease outbreaks.
The MHNTs’ core services include ante-natal and post-natal care, integrated community case management of childhood illnesses, malaria control, hygiene promotion, and nutrition services, including screening, referral, and the outpatient therapeutic programme (OTP) for the treatment of children with severe acute malnutrition (without medical complications) and treatment of moderate acute malnutrition (MAM).
Communities in southern and northeastern parts of Ethiopia are suffering from the worst drought in forty years pushing more and more children and their families to the brink. Overall, over 24.1 million people are estimated to be affected by the drought – this includes 12.6 million children.
As a result of multiple shocks of drought, floods, and conflict, there has been an escalation in humanitarian needs and a deterioration of development gains. Overall, it is estimated that 1.7 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance in Afar.
From January to October 2022, just over 28,000 severely malnourished children were admitted for treatment. In October alone, there were around 4,500 children with severe acute malnutrition admitted for treatment.
The number of children admitted for treatment of severe acute malnutrition from January-October 2022 is 8,160 higher than the same period in 2021, representing a 41 per cent increase.
: On December 5, 2022, UNICEF launched their 2023 Humanitarian Action for Children Appeal (HAC). For Ethiopia, in 2023, it is estimated that 31.4 million people will be in need of urgent humanitarian assistance as a result of the conflict in northern Ethiopia (in the Tigray, Afar, and Amhara Regions) and the severe drought in the Afar, Oromia, Somali, Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples Regions. This includes 16.5 million children and 7.8 million women. Around 4.5 million people are internally displaced in the country.
Fleet Compound where UKAID/FCDO funded trucks and other WFP trucks are stationed to deploy emergency food assistance across the country including Tigray. These particular trucks are delivering food aid to communities in Afar. As a result of UK’s funding, WFP has bought 54 trucks which alone have allowed WFP to deliver over 23,000 tons of food & nutrition supplies to 1 million of the most vulnerable people across all the country since February.
The impact of the war in Ukraine is putting families under extra strain, with increasing food and fuel prices and reduced availability of wheat and cooking oil imports in Ethiopia, Kenya and Somalia.
The Horn of Africa has become increasingly dependent on imported grains from the Russian Federation and Ukraine. Ethiopia, Kenya, and Somalia imported 67 per cent, 89 per cent and 92 per cent of their wheat respectively from the two countries.
There has been substantial food and fuel price increases in the region driven by numerous factors, including the war in Ukraine. The prices of cooking oil, bread, and wheat flour are already reaching new records in local markets in Ethiopia, Kenya, and Somalia. Many families can no longer afford the basic foodstuffs and necessities they need to survive.
The price of ready-to-use therapeutic food (RUTF) has soared by 8.8 per cent between September 2021 and September 2022 – due to increases in the prices of raw ingredients, including powdered milk, whey powder, vegetable oil, sugar, and peanut paste. Further increases are expected into 2023.
