Over 15,000 Ethiopian returnees, many of whom are vulnerable women and children languishing at quarantine sites, have received critical emergency assistance as the country continues to curb the spread of Covid-19. "With the supplies, we're receiving from NRC, IOM and others, the quarantine centre is now fully operational and able to meet the needs of vulnerable groups." NRC is working to prevent the spread of coronavirus to areas with vulnerable refugees, displaced and host communities across Ethiopia. We are providing sanitary materials, constructing emergency latrines and establishing hand washing facilities in health, quarantine/isolation and case management centres. We are also providing emergency shelter kits to displaced people and refugees who are living in overcrowded conditions.
