The magnitude of the humanitarian crisis in its highest level was first acknowledged by Abraha Desta, Arena Tigray Party Chairperson who served as the Interim Administration’s social Affairs Bureau, mentioning that the scale of the danger could be “unprecedented in the region’s history” and that 4.5 million people were in need of immediate aid.
“IF WE CAN NOT GET A HARVEST THIS YEAR, BY THE NEXT 3 TO FIVE YEARS WE COULD FACE A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM. AND IT MAY INDUCE FAMINE, IT COULD BE THE WORST HISTORY IN THE COUNTRY.”
