The climate crisis makes droughts longer & more severe. In 🇪🇹, recurring droughts threaten crops, water sources & livelihoods, driving food insecurity & hitting the poorest hardest.

On #WorldEnvironmentDay🌍, let’s remember that environmental action reduces humanitarian needs 🫶

💧This is good news. Well done @ReliefTigray and @charitywater

[RELIEF SOCIETY OF TIGRAY (REST) @ReliefTigray]

Clean water is everything, and thanks to REST & @charitywater, the Kerseber water supply is flowing again after 3 years of war. Huge impact for Letay, Hiwet & their community. #WaterIsLife

[WorldVision Ethiopia @WorldVisionEth]

If access to #cleanwater makes children like Hawi smile, IMAGINE the incredible impact that access to all basic necessities could bring to their lives!

Together we can make a difference and transform children’s lives.

Water is life! 💦💦

Children’s access to clean water shouldn’t be a privilege; It is a fundamental right as defined in the Convention on the Rights of the Child.

#ForEveryChild, access to safe and clean water!

[UNICEF Ethiopia @UNICEFEthiopia]

Galmo used to walk three hours a day to collect water for her children. 💧

See how a programme funded by @BMZ_Bund through @KfW_int is making clean water and nutrition support more accessible for Galmo and her community.

Well done @GOAL_Global !
For people's health,💧WASH and 🏥health go hand in hand. Fixing up water systems as part of health centre rehabilitation is critical for infection prevention and control.

Last week we hosted a WASH for Peace training as part of our HPD nexus priority. Partners discussed how to:
📊Carry out a conflict and peace analysis
💧Implement conflict sensitive WASH programming
🕊️Entry points for peace building in WASH interventions

[WASH Cluster Ethiopia @WASHcluster_Eth]

Essential health and WASH services are affected by conflict: "Before the SELAM project the health facility did not have any access to water, so the women delivering babies had to bring a 5-liter jerrican of water with them for their own treatment"

👉🏾more info below
@CARE

[CARE (care.org) @CARE]

Only 3 percent of health facilities in Tigray have been fully functional since the conflict began due to lack of supplies and partial or total damage to facilities. At the same time, the maternal mortality rate in the region has increased fivefold.

"In the areas where we are doing water tracking, we will need to prepare water wells"
YES! The Ethiopia WASH cluster recommends:
💧Sustainable WASH interventions as much as possible
🚛Water trucking as the last resort option only

[UN Women Ethiopia @unwomenethiopia]

More than 1 in 4 women and girls globally lack access to safely managed drinking water.
Tackling gender inequality and other forms of discrimination is impossible without a feminist approach to the water crisis.
