UK-funded humanitarian partners with existing presence in Tigray (UN's World Food Programme (WFP), UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the UN Children's Fund (UNICEF) and the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA) Ethiopian Humanitarian Fund) are continuing to provide assistance, where possible and in very challenging circumstances. We are in close contact with them to understand humanitarian needs and establish the status of on-going activities, such as life-saving nutrition support to children, child protection and the installation of water infrastructure in schools. We are also working to secure humanitarian access to deliver further assistance.
