The Urkud, Murga, and Asalili kebeles in the Abala Zone are alleged to be the main victims of the alleged aid corruption. Beneficiaries from the kebeles surrounding Abala town staged a protest on Monday over the misappropriation of aid meant for IDPs. A portion of humanitarian aid is provided through the safety net program, while the remaining is emergency assistance. However, aid corruption, according to Melese, is common.
