‘We will just die in silence’: US aid cuts hit Ethiopia’s fragile Tigray region.
Aid agencies distributing U.S. food aid in Ethiopia's war affected Tigray region say they have had to stop feeding millions of people because of Trump administration's restrictions on foreign aid.

In recent years, Ethiopia has faced severe challenges, exacerbated by persistent droughts, conflict, and economic instability. As the nation grapples with these crises, U.S. aid has historically served as a critical lifeline for millions of Ethiopians. However, recent cuts to this aid have raised alarm bells about the escalating humanitarian needs and food insecurity in the country.

The U.S. government has been one of Ethiopia’s largest donors, providing billions in humanitarian assistance over the past decades. This support has been vital for food security, nutritional programs, and emergency relief efforts. Despite this historical commitment, shifts in U.S. foreign policy, budget constraints, and changing geopolitical priorities have led to significant reductions in aid. According to recent reports, U.S. humanitarian aid to Ethiopia dropped by approximately 30% in the last fiscal year alone.

These cuts have dire consequences. Ethiopia is currently witnessing a a combination of natural disasters and conflicts, including the ongoing Tigray War, which has displaced millions and disrupted agricultural activities. Many regions are experiencing acute food shortages, compounded by rising prices and inflation. With U.S. aid reduced, international organizations and local agencies have reported that they are struggling to meet the soaring needs of food-insecure populations.

The United Nations estimates that about 20 million people in Ethiopia are in need of assistance, with 9 million facing emergency food shortages. This alarming situation is exacerbated by the aid cuts, as essential programs aimed at providing food, health care, and shelter for the displaced are severely underfunded. For instance, the World Food Programme (WFP) has had to reduce rations for many beneficiaries, leaving families with inadequate food supplies to meet their daily needs.

Moreover, the aid cuts have strained the capacity of local organizations that deliver essential services. For many vulnerable communities, these local entities rely on U.S. funding to operate nutrition programs and emergency relief efforts, which are crucial for children and mothers, the most affected groups in areas of conflict and food insecurity. Without this support, the health and well-being of these populations are at risk, resulting in higher rates of malnutrition and preventable diseases.

The reduction in funding also undermines the long-term development efforts that help build resilience against future crises. Programs aimed at improving agricultural productivity, infrastructure, and community health face significant setbacks, leaving populations increasingly vulnerable to fluctuations in climate and security.

In conclusion, the cuts to U.S. aid are having a profound impact on Ethiopia’s ability to address its pressing food and humanitarian needs. As the country continues to navigate a complex landscape of conflict and climate challenges, the international community must urgently reassess its commitment to supporting Ethiopia. Ensuring that aid flows to this nation is not only a moral imperative but also critical to stabilizing the region and promoting long-term prosperity. Without renewed investment and support, millions of Ethiopians will remain at risk, and the path to recovery will become increasingly difficult.
