SaltWire's Atlantic regional weather forecast for October 5, 2023 | SaltWireWASHINGTON - The United States is resuming food aid to refugees in Ethiopia after assistance was paused earlier this year because donations were being diverted, a senior U.S. Agency for International Development official said.
"The resumption of food assistance to refugees will save lives and alleviate suffering for some of the most vulnerable," the official said. The decision will impact dozens of refugee sites around Ethiopia, the official said. None of them are in Tigray, where a two-year war between the federal government and forces led by the region's dominant political party ended in a truce in November last year after killing tens of thousands of people and creating famine-like conditions for hundreds of thousands.
Assistance for other food-insecure people in Ethiopia remains paused until Washington has assurances it will reach its intended beneficiaries, the senior official said, adding that they continue to work with the Ethiopian government on additional reforms.A spokesperson at the time said USAID had determined, in coordination with the Ethiopian government, that a"widespread and coordinated campaign is diverting food assistance from the people of Ethiopia.
