 Ethiopia is facing a challenging moment. With over 1.7 million internally displaced populations and the threat of COVID-19, humanitarian operations are being hampered, putting extra layers of risk on people already in dire need of support. Access to wash services in Ethiopia is still inadequate and IOM and partners are working hard to support people and increase access to safe water and sanitation. The main IOM program contribution to COVID-19 combines hygiene awareness, activities and distribution of hygienic items. These measures are complemented with IOMET increasing access to safe water and soap, being this critical intervention to mitigate the spread of COVID-19.
