Emergency Response

Today, you can help meet these urgent needs—faithfully answering God’s call to respond to those suffering under natural disasters, outbreaks, persecution, and more—and help save their lives. Together, we are made for this.

In November 2020, tensions began rising in the Tigray region of northern Ethiopia. Military conflict between the Ethiopian military and the Tigray Defence Force led to the displacement of millions of people in the Tigray region. For a year, FH staff in Ethiopia have been working to provide relief to these displaced people in the form of food, water, basic care, and more.

The crisis originating in Tigray has intensified again around the beginning of November 2021 . More surrounding regions are being affected. Ethiopia's capital, Addis Ababa, is on alert as Tigray forces have moved closer to the nation’s capital.

With these new developments, even more humanitarian aid is needed. FH is strategizing next steps, while cautiously preparing staff in affected areas to evacuate if needed. Please pray for peace regarding the Tigray crisis, and for the safe movement of staff and supplies to areas that need them the most.

Thank you for walking alongside these communities, ensuring they have hope, no matter the challenges they face.

We need your help to respond quickly and bring relief to families in need of food, medicine, and shelter. Today, our world is facing major emergencies and Food for the Hungry is once again stepping into the gap.

We have to do something.

Through partnerships with established relief organizations, FH is bringing emergency aid and hope to thousands of victims suffering starvation, sickness, homelessness, and insecurity because of circumstances beyond their control. Thank you for joining us in the global effort to rescue these millions from tragedy!
