Today, the United States handed over 250 metric tons of humanitarian supplies to the International Organization for Migration (IOM) Office in Ethiopia. This is the second time the United States Government has directly provided humanitarian supplies to Ethiopians displaced by the ongoing conflict in the north, through IOM. Today's donation compliments the nearly 900 million USD the United States has devoted in humanitarian support to Ethiopia over the last year. These relief supplies are part of the United States, IOM, United Nations, and international humanitarian organizations' broader effort to help people in all regions of the Northern Ethiopia conflict. The United States calls upon all parties to begin an immediate cessation of hostilities, allow unhindered humanitarian access, and negotiate a resolution to the conflict.
