In #Tigray, heavy rain, strong winds destroy more than 20 shelters at #IDP site, injure residents
More than 20 temporary shelters at the "70 Kare" (Seba Kare) Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) center in Tigray were completely destroyed after heavy rain and strong winds struck the site on 04 August, according to the Western Tigray Civil Society Organization (Tsilal).
Speaking to Tigray TV, the center's coordinator, Zebenom Kidu, said the storm left the shelters uninhabitable, caused extensive damage to residents' belongings, and further worsened the already precarious conditions facing displaced families.
Zebenom said several people sustained injuries during the incident, including elderly residents, who were taken to nearby health facilities for treatment.
Describing the situation as an added burden for an already vulnerable population, he appealed to humanitarian organizations to provide immediate emergency assistance to affected residents.
In a statement, Tsilal said the destruction has deepened the humanitarian challenges confronting internally displaced people at the site and stressed that durable solutions remain urgently needed. The organization reiterated that the long-term resolution to the displacement crisis lies in creating conditions that allow displaced residents to return safely and voluntarily to their places of origin.

Just refresh your memory. The Tigray community faces a critical challenge: influential figures are prioritizing self-interest over the people's collective welfare, especially during these difficult times. Their profound responsibility demands immediate focus on genuine needs.

News: Over 60% #Ethiopians experienced food insecurity between 2023-25, healthy diets remain unaffordable to over two-thirds; estimate excluded #Tigray
Nearly 80 million Ethiopians experienced moderate or severe food insecurity between 2023 and 2025, while more than two-thirds of the country’s population could not afford a healthy diet last year, according to the latest State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2026 report, which notes that its national estimate for Ethiopia does not include the war-torn Tigray region due to data limitations.
The 251 pages report, jointly published by the Food and Agriculture Organization (#FAO), International Fund for Agricultural Development (#IFAD), #UNICEF, the World Food Program (#WFP), and the World Health Organization (#WHO), estimates that 79.4 million people, or 60.1 percent of Ethiopia's population, experienced moderate or severe food insecurity during the 2023–2025 period.

This week, @WHO marks the 25th anniversary of Research4Life, a public-private partnership that provides researchers, educators, health professionals and policy-makers in low- and middle-income countries with affordable or free access to scientific knowledge: https://t.co/31MGUc75RB
But Research4Life didn’t just give access to research. It empowered researchers from lower-income countries to contribute, collaborate and publish.
To every partner, past and present—thank you. #StandWithScience
Last year, more than 200 million additional people were able to afford a healthy diet compared with 2021: https://t.co/2KB9DZgFaN
This is good news, but it’s just a fraction of what is needed, as nearly 2.7 billion people still struggle to afford the minimum diet needed for good health.
Healthy diets should not be a luxury. They are the foundation of health. And they should be within everyone's reach.
The humanitarian crisis in Tigray’s IDP camps is worsening.
