Ethiopia

In October 2025, population movements persisted across multiple regions due to conflict, insecurity, and natural disasters such as floods and earthquakes, with Somali and Tigray accounting for the largest share (35% each). Oromia contributed 13%, Afar 5%, and South Ethiopia, Amhara, and Benishangul Gumuz collectively 10%. Under the EHF reserve allocation to address the most acute ES/NFI needs, partners delivered assistance across nine regions, reaching 16% of the targeted population, with an additional 5% expected through ongoing activities. Response coverage was highest in Oromia, while significant gaps remained in Amhara and Tigray. Most activities focused on essential household items (74%), with 26% directed to shelter support. 

The rollout of the Common Pipeline Request Tracking System improved coordination and transparency, benefiting partners in Amhara, Oromia, and Tigray. Despite progress, the response was heavily underfunded, with only 20% of requirements met. EHF provided over half of the contributions, alongside support from the USA, ICRC, ECHO, Start Fund, SIDA, Norway, CERF, and the IOM-managed Common Pipeline. Sustained donor engagement is crucial to closing gaps and ensuring timely assistance for displacement-affected communities.
