EU provides €40 million in humanitarian aid in Ethiopia

As Ethiopia faces multiple humanitarian challenges due to the impact of conflicts, recurrent climate shocks, as well as outbreaks of infectious diseases, the Commission will provide €40 million in initial humanitarian aid for 2025. This brings total EU humanitarian assistance in Ethiopia to €436.5 million since 2020.

The new EU aid package will support EU humanitarian partners on the ground in providing protection, food aid, access to clean water and hygiene, shelter, basic essential items, nutritional assistance, disease prevention and access to primary health care, and education and protection for children caught up in humanitarian crises.

In particular, aid will be channelled to internally displaced and to newly or recently arrived refugees from countries such as Sudan.
