World Vision Ethiopia - Situation Report 9

World Vision's hunger crisis response in Ethiopia has now reached more than 1 million Ethiopians. 

The work continues. We are highlighting:

• Rising needs: Following a multi-agency assessment conducted in June 2017, the government of Ethiopia launched a revised Humanitarian Requirements Document (HRD) on 07 August 2017. As per the revised document:
• At least 8.5 million people will require relief food assistance in the second half of 2017
• Some 3.6 million moderately malnourished children and pregnant and lactating mothers will require supplementary feeding
• Some 10.5 million people will require support for regular access to safe drinking water
• Some 2.2 million households will require livestock support.
• Food Security and Livelihood: Excessive livestock deaths and lack of other income earning opportunities mean that Emergency (IPC Phase 4) outcomes are expected to continue in the Somali region until January 2018 with the possibility of Famine (IPC Phase 5) outcomes in Dollo and Korahe zones in August if emergency food assistance is not provided. Preliminary results from a Belg assessment in June show that 11 to 15 million people may need food assistance in the second half of the year.
