Following the resumption of food assistance to refugees by USAID on 29 September, UNHCR, WFP, its Cooperating Partners (CPs) and Ethiopia’s Refugees and Returnees Service (RRS) jointly prepared for the food distributions in all refugee camps and sites in Ethiopia. This was conducted as per the roles outlined in the new Memorandum of Understanding (Mou) and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) on food assistance in refugee camps, sites and settlements signed by RRS, UNHCR, and WFP. Across Ethiopia, there are 31 refugee locations targeted by the General Food Distribution (GFD), including 21 camps, ten settlements, three sites, and two transit centres, where 919,586 are dependent on food assistance out of the total of 996,3521 refugees hosted in the country.
