General Food Assistance for refugee population in Um Rakuba, Tunaydbah, Village 8 and Babikri, Gedaref state

In response to the food security gaps in Gedaref state related to the Ethiopian crisis, ACTED will deliver life-saving food assistance in Tunaydbah, Um Rakuba and Babikri camps and in Village 8 transit center for 11 months. ACTED will target a total of 45,687 people through General Food Distributions (GFDs) – Unconditional food rations. The GFDs aim to support Ethiopian refugees, which have experienced acute food insecurity since the onset of the Tigray crisis and forced displacement into Sudan. To date, Ethiopian people face lack of livelihoods opportunities. The GFDs will contribute to ease the tensions over limited food availability in the local market, and to tackle the issues of markets’ accessibility and transportation fees for refugees who are allowed to move out of the settlement that warrants the use of the GFD over the cash-based transfer.
