Ethiopian officials appealed for increased international humanitarian support on February 1 2026 as shortages of food medical supplies and essential services continue to affect millions. Authorities said ongoing conflict displacement and economic pressures have strained national response capacity.
Humanitarian agencies reported that access challenges and funding gaps have limited aid delivery in several regions. Malnutrition rates remain high particularly among children and pregnant women. Officials urged donors to scale up assistance and ensure uninterrupted humanitarian corridors.
The government said it is working with international partners to improve coordination and transparency. Aid groups emphasized the need for sustained support beyond emergency relief including recovery and resilience programs.
Observers warned that without additional funding conditions could deteriorate further. Officials stressed that timely international assistance is critical to prevent a worsening humanitarian crisis.
