One of the places most impacted by the escalation of the Tigray conflict is the Woldiya administration. In order to protect their survival and safety, the majority of residents of this district moved to Dessie town and other nearby villages. These IDPs are currently back in their original location where they can resume their prior lives. In total, 106,520 (62,500 female) persons have been seriously affected by the violence and require immediate multi-sectoral humanitarian assistance, according to the assessment report from the Woldiya Major office. As families evacuated their homes and crops, food hunger grew. In the near future, they lose the ability to support themselves and feel good about themselves.
