Millions of Ethiopians have been devastated by the fighting in the north, and villages like those in Tigray now lack access to essential services. Educational facilities have suffered significant damage, with schools, furniture, textbooks, and laboratory equipment destroyed, forcing many children out of school. Consequently, approximately 2.4 Million school-aged children have been affected.

During an event at the Regional Health Bureau compound in Samara, USAID/Ethiopia Acting Deputy Mission Director Thomas Staal handed over the equipment to Yassin Habib, Head of the Afar Regional Health Bureau.
Acting Deputy Director Staal also visited Dubti Hospital, which was impacted by the conflict, to see USAID’s post-conflict support to revive its essential health services. The USAID Health Workforce Improvement Program worked with Dubti Hospital and other health centers in the region to build their capacity to plan, recruit, and manage their respective health workforce.
