The estimated number of children with Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) for 215 increased from 32,65 to 35,. A total of 42,83 children were treated in August 215, a 27 per cent increase from 32,34 children in July 215. Between January and August 215, 219,617 children have been treated for SAM; this is a 27 per cent increase compared with the numbers reported during the same period in 214. An estimated 735,15 school children in 94 woredas in Afar, Amhara, Dire Dawa, Harari, Oromia, SNNPR, Somali and Tigray regions have dropped out of school due to the current drought emergency. The Disaster Risk Management and Food Security Sector (DRMFSS) has issued a flood Alert. High-risk areas include Somali, SNNPR and Oromia regions. UNICEF Ethiopia has increased its 215 humanitarian appeal to US$55 million from the US$49 million revised in May 215.

2 1. Situation Overview and Humanitarian Needs 1.1 Deterioration of Food Security and Nutrition Situation in Ethiopia In October, the Government announced that about 8.2 million in Ethiopia are in of emergency food aid, up from the 4.5 million estimated in August. The worst affected areas include Afar, eastern Amhara, eastern Tigray, eastern SNNP, central and southern Oromia, and northern Somali regions. Of particular concern is areas where two consecutive rains have failed like in Afar Region and Sitti Zone of Somali Region. In these areas, failed crops, reduced livestock production and massive death of livestock have been reported. Children are severely affected by the current deteriorating food security situation. More than 35, severely malnourished children, a 25 per cent increase from the initial forecast at the beginning of the year, will require treatment in 215. September saw the end of the Kiremt rains 1 and with the Meher harvest, (November 215 January 216) food security situation is expected to stabilize in parts of Amhara, Oromia, SNNP and Tigray regions. In southern part of the Somali Region, the Deyr rains (October to December) are expected to bring about improved food and income from sale of livestock. However, in Belg producing areas of southern Tigray, eastern Amhara, some areas in central and eastern Oromia and SNNPR, the food security situation is expected to deteriorate further. In the northern part of the Somali Region (Sitti Zone), southern Afar Region and pocket areas of Oromia Region, pastoralists and agro-pastoralists communities that have received insufficient and erratic rains, will remain fragile 2 until the next rainy season in April 216. According to IOM reports 3, an estimated 4,65 people in Sitti Zone have been displaced due to drought. 1.4 Nutrition Update: The number of children requiring treatment for SAM is expected to reach 35, by the end of the year. The number of malnourished children admitted into the Community Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM) programme continues to increase. Admissions increased by 31 per cent from 32,34 in July 215 to 42,83 in August 215. Between January and August 215, 219,617 children have been admitted for treatment. This is an increase of 27 per cent compared with the number reported during the same period last year. Figure 1 shows the national trend of the admission of children with SAM in the CMAM programme in the country, since 211. In 215, the admission trend has been increasing. 5, Figure 1: National (Ethiopia) Trends in Severe Acute Malnutrition Admissions ( ) Source: ENCU data base (August 215) Out of the total CMAM admissions, 65 per cent are from Oromia Region while 23 per cent are from SNNPR. 1 Kiremt rains long seasonal rains from June to September Internal displacement update, IOM, September 215 2

The high increase in Oromia Region is a result of active screening of children but also because of poor food and water availability. The decrease in SNNPR could be attributed to the scaled up of the emergency response and availability of short maturing foods (green maize, haricot beans, cabbage) following improved Kiremt rains at the end of July in some parts of the region. 4, 3, 2, 1, Figure 4: Somali Trends in Severe Acute Malnutrition Admissions ( ) Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Figure 5: Amhara Trends in Severe Acute Malnutrition Admissions ( ) Source: ENCU data base (August 215) Similarly, in Amhara, the number of children with SAM increased by 5 per cent from July to August , 2, 1, Figure 6: Afar Trends in Severe Acute Malnutrition Admissions ( ) Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Figure 7: Tigray Trends in Severe Acute Malnutrition Admissions ( )

4 Source: ENCU data base (August 215) In Afar, a 26 per cent increase in children s admission is observed - from 2,74 in July to 2,622 in August 215. While in Tigray a 9 per cent increase in observed during the same period. 1.5 Health Update: Measles outbreaks continue in different parts of the country. According to July 215 (latest data available) from WHO, 197 woredas were affected with measles outbreaks and approximately 14,3 suspected measles cases, including nearly 11,7 confirmed cases approximately 9 per cent of the 13,3 confirmed cases occurring during all of 214. The situation is of particular concern considering the high malnutrition rate among children. The Ministry of Health is planning a vaccination campaign against measles for 5.31 million children in 277 hot spot districts, at the end of October 215. In Amhara Region, scabies are reported in East Gojam Zone. According to zonal reports, nearly 16, people in Shebel, Enarje and Enebsse woredas are at risk. The critical shortage of water in these areas has posed additional challenge in preventing the outbreak. Humanitarian partners, including UNICEF are responding to the situation. 1.6 WASH Update: According to the Humanitarian Requirement Document released in August 215, over one million people are in need of emergency water support, following the failure of the Belg rains 4. Regional Water Bureaus have deployed rapid assessment teams in all regions to review the increasing needs. Meanwhile, water trucking funded by the Government continues in areas where the need is critical in the Oromia, Amhara and Afar regions. In Afar, water sources, including shallow wells, boreholes, springs, and rivers have decreased level of water. This is forcing people to use unprotected water sources that expose them to water borne diseases. In Oromia Region, although some seasonal rains have been received, some areas in Borena (Dhas Woreda), Arsi (Robe Woreda), and Bale (Raytu Woreda) Zones continue to be dry. There are also reports of families migrating in search of water in Bale Zone of Oromia Region. In Amhara Region, North Shewa (Minjar Shenkora, Berehet Woredas), North Gondar (East Belessa Woreda), Oromia (Bati Woreda), South Wello (Argoba Woreda) and Wag Himra (Sehala Woreda) zones, over 91,311 people are facing critical water shortage. In Somali Region, Sitti and Fafan Zones continue to face critical water shortage. The poor performance of the Kiremt rains have also led to the water shortage in Sidama Zone (Boricha and Lokabaya woredas), Guraghe Zone (Mareko and Muhur Na Aklil Woredas), Silte Zone (Sankura and Lanfuro Woredas), Hadiya Zone (East Badewacho, Ani Lemo and Shashego Woredas), Wolaita Zone (Duguna Fango Woreda), Gamogofa Zone (West Abaya and Kemba woredas) and Alaba special Woreda in SNNPR. The situation is compounded by the high number of non-functional water schemes. For example in Afar Region, the Regional Water Bureau has identified 4 non-functional water schemes that require urgent rehabilitation. Similarly, in Oromia Region, there are 75 and in Somali 45 water schemes that need rehabilitation. WASH partners, including CARE, COOPI, and AMREF, have developed proposals to undertake the rehabilitation works. 1.7 Education Update: The Ministry of Education together with regional, zonal and woreda education bureaus, conducted rapid assessments in September, to assess the impact of the deteriorating humanitarian situation on the enrolment of children in the new academic year (the new school year starts end of September). According to initial estimations, 735,15 school children in 94 hot spot priority one woredas in Afar, Amhara, Dire Dawa, Harari, Oromia, SNNPR, Somali and Tigray regions are reported to require emergency education assistance to be able to continue their education. Prioritized intervention needs include school feeding, institutional WASH and school supplies provision to the affected children. Some of the worst affected areas include Sitti Zone of Somali Region where 68 schools are closed and as a result, 18,826 children have not enrolled in schools. Partners are working to respond to the situation. 1.3 Refugees Update: As of September 215, UNHCR reported that a total of 652,234 refugees are living in Ethiopia. The majority of the refugees are South Sudanese, Somalis, Eritrean and Sudanese. As compared to the refugee population of 728,7 in August 215, there is a reduction in the number of refugees in the country due to the inactivation of over 81,78 Eritrean refugees records in Shire. In September, the number of Eritrean refugees living in the Shire refugee of Tigray Region has been reduced following the inactivation of 81,78 refugee records. The Administration for Refugees and Returnees Affairs (ARRA), 4 Belg rains: seasonal rains from February to June 4

5 UNHCR, and WFP conducted a joint food and cash distribution monitoring and the records of those refugees who failed to collect food or cash assistance between April and September 215 have been inactivated. As a result, the number of Eritrean refugees in the Shire refugee has been reduced to 34,32. The missing refugees are believed to have moved to third countries, continuing their journey to European countries or other developed countries to seek asylum. Out of the total Eritrean refugees registered in Shire refugee, 16 per cent are children. The continued influx of a high number of unaccompanied and separated children in the and their secondary movements present challenges to ARRA, UNHCR and humanitarian partners. As of the end of July 215, there are 2,372 unaccompanied and separated children registered in the four refugee in Shire. South Sudanese refugees continue to arrive in the country. The daily arrival rate of South Sudanese refugees into Gambella Region has further declined to 29 as of end of September (compared to 9 at the beginning of the month). As of end of September 215, the total number of South Sudanese refugees is 219,91. Out of these refugees, 2,627 are unaccompanied and separated children. Humanitarian Leadership and Coordination DRMFSS is responsible for the overall coordination of drought crisis response reporting to National Disaster Prevention and Preparedness Committee which is chaired by the Deputy Prime Minister. The Disaster Risk Management (DRM) Technical Working Group continues to bring together all the DRM actors and is expected to plays a significant role in the coordination of inter-sectoral emergency programmes. Under the leadership of the line ministries, Task Forces are preparing response plans that will help them to prioritize critical areas, in view of the limited fund available. UNICEF emergency response will focus on supporting the Government of Ethiopia to respond to the rapid deterioration of food security and nutrition in the country focusing on women and children in line with its Core Commitments to Children in Humanitarian Action. Together with the Government of Ethiopia, UNICEF continues to provide cluster leadership for WASH, nutrition, education and child protection sectors. Humanitarian Strategy: Prepositioning and Partnerships To respond to any rapid onset crisis in a timely manner, UNICEF has prepositioned stocks in Addis Ababa and at three regional hubs to address the needs of 125, people. These supplies are currently being used to provide immediate assistance to affected populations based on the requests from the regional governments. UNICEF has established Long Term Agreements with suppliers of most important emergency supplies and drilling of shallow boreholes, which enables urgent delivery when needed. In the refugee context, UNICEF supports UNHCR and ARRA to spearhead the coordination of emergency response. The partnership is based on the Memorandum of Understanding signed in 212 between the two sister agencies and the tripartite agreement signed in 27, with ARRA and UNHCR to establish a framework of collaboration for the delivery of services and assistance. Summary Analysis of Programme Response 3.3 Emergency Response in Ethiopia Nutrition: In support of the Community Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM) programme in the country, UNICEF Ethiopia procured and distributed drugs, milk and ready-to-use-therapeutic-food (RUTF) for the fourth quarter of the year. These supplies will enable the treatment of an estimated 76,113 children suffering from severe acute malnutrition (SAM). 5

The requirement amount of ready-to-use-therapeutic food (RUTF) for the fourth quarter is nearly 18, cartons (taking into account the Oromia need for the three months), which is an increase of 2 per cent as compared to the 89,293 cartons sent for the third quarter. Health: UNICEF has procured vaccines at a cost of US$ 2.4 million to support the Federal Ministry of Health to vaccinate 5.31 million children against measles. The mass vaccination in priority woredas is expected to be conducted at the end of October 215 and will be integrated with meningitis vaccination. Following the current drought emergency in Amhara Region and reports of scabies, UNICEF has provided 1 emergency drug kits (expected to support 25, people with access to basic health service) and 1, bottles of Benzyl Benzoate lotion expected to treat more than 2, households in response to scabies outbreak. Two Case Treatment Centre kits and Acute Water Diarrhoea (AWD) treatment supplies were prepositioned in Moyale woreda of Oromia Region and in Somali Region to prepare for any possible outbreaks after reports of AWD in the neighbouring country Kenya. UNICEF is supporting 3 Mobile Health and Nutrition Teams (MHNT) in Somali (25 teams) and Afar (five teams) regions to provide access to health care services in the remote areas of these two regions. The MHNTs provide medical consultations, nutritional screening and promote safe motherhood (screening of pregnant and lactating women), health education and sanitation, hygiene promotion and emergency water treatment. UNICEF supplies these teams with essential drug kits and nutrition supplies. As of July 215, these teams in both regions provided consultations to 128,31 people (45 per cent reporting rate). With the current drought in Afar and Somali regions, the regional authorities are relocating the teams to the nutrition hot spot priority woredas to provide lifesaving interventions. In the Somali Region, four teams have been relocated to Sitti Zone to provide health services to an estimated 4,65 drought displaced people. WASH: UNICEF is currently focusing on the rehabilitation and upgrading of non-functional water schemes in Afar, Oromia, Amhara, SNNP and Somali regions. In addition, UNICEF is also supporting hygiene promotion and environmental sanitation in Afar Region, where the carcasses of the dead animals could cause environmental pollution. UNICEF is in the process of deploying a deep well service rig to rehabilitate abandoned deep boreholes in priority areas of the regions Somali, Oromia, and Afar. Although, the regional requests for water trucking are being worked out, the regional governments of Afar, Oromia and Amhara with support from partners have been deploying water trucks for the provision of water rationing. With limited funds available, the responses are far below the requirements and critical gaps remain. In Afar, the regional government has deployed 18 water trucks to benefit an estimated 36, people in the most affected woredas of Elidar, Kori, Berhale, Dalol, Gewane and Dupti. In Oromia, only four water trucks serving 1, people are deployed out of the required 28. In Amhara, the Regional Government is providing emergency water rationing in Meket (North Wello), Berehet (North Shewa), Sekota town (Waghimra Zone), East Bellessa (North Gonder) and Minjar (North Shewa); the former three woredas have never been dependent on water trucking. 6

7 At the beginning of October, UNICEF in partnership with the Ethiopian Red Cross Society dispatched 1,4 non-food items (NFI) kits that includes shelter items, blankets, sleeping mat, kitchen utensils, jerry cans and soaps. This will benefit the same number of families in Hadhagala Woreda of Sitti Zone. IOM and DRMFSS have distributed 7 and 1,339 NFI kits to the most affected people. UNICEF is also sending jerry cans, buckets, soaps and water purification chemicals. These supplies benefit 2,6 families with access to clean water. With UNICEF support, the Somali Regional Water Bureau will purchase water tanks for the health facilities. UNICEF will also work to ensure that affected children have a safe environment to be able to play and continue their education. Education: UNICEF, through the Education Cluster supported the Ministry of Education (MoE) Emergency Task Force in developing the Education in Emergencies (EiE) response plan following the rapid education needs assessment. The Education Cluster has been conducting bi-weekly regular meetings and a weekly working group meeting that includes the MoE, Save the Children International (SCI), WFP and UNICEF to coordinate the education response, advocate for EiE support and look for funding opportunities. 3.2 South Sudanese Refugees Emergency Response: UNICEF continues to support UNHCR, ARRA and partners to provide health, nutrition, WASH, education and child protection services to refugees within the refugee and at the border crossing points. In addition, UNICEF also supports the Regional Government to provide access to basic social services to the vulnerable the host community affected by the refugee crisis in Gambella Region. Health and Nutrition: The Regional Health Bureau (RHB) teams supported by UNICEF have been conducting vaccination for all new refugee children in Pagak, Burubey, and Akobo entry points since the beginning of the influx of the refugees. From January to August, 2,86 children (-15 years old) have been vaccinated against polio, and 18,18 (6 month 15 years old) were vaccinated against measles. In addition, 8,664 children (6 months five years) received vitamin A, and 5,265 children (1-5 years old) received deworming tablets. Three UNICEF consultants are providing technical support to the RHB to provide entry point vaccination to the refugees. UNICEF continues to support UNHCR and ARRA together with NGOs including GOAL Ethiopia, Concern Worldwide and ACF. The support includes the establishment and operation of CMAM programme, Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF), provision of supplies and technical support and improving service quality and information management. During the month of September, UNICEF supported ACF for the establishment of CMAM programme in the new Pugnido 2 camp. Since July 214, UNICEF has deployed four nutrition consultants to support nutrition intervention in the host community areas and refugee entry points. WASH: As part of its plan to support access to clean water for both refugees and host communities, UNICEF has procured four generators and four pumps for the Itang Permanent Water Supply System. This system is expected to be completed in October 215. Education: In September, the Education Working Group has concentrated its effort on the back-to-school campaign and door-todoor survey to ensure: All children aged 4-14 years in the pre- and primary schools are enrolled by the end of September 215, Children stay in schools throughout school year; Integrated services are provided to children, families, and caregivers, both at school and at community level. The back-to-school campaign includes school registration, preparation of classrooms and provision of education supplies. The sector expects to enrol at least 6 per cent of 122,336 children aged 3 to 18 years that are in the. Learning materials that include school-in-a-bag, textbooks, black boards, T-shirts, early childhood and care and teachers kits that benefit 3, children provided by UNICEF are distributed through implementing partners. During the month, UNICEF supported a six-day training of thirty teachers at Tierkidi and Kule refugee. This training is expected to improve teachers capacity and skills to support students with psychosocial and other problems. 7

8 Child Protection: UNICEF continues to work with implementing partners to provide child protection related services to the refugees through the establishment of Child Friendly Spaces (CFS), support to the child protection information management system for better case management, and the provision of psychosocial service. In September, UNICEF provided psychosocial service refresher training to 19 social workers of PLAN International Ethiopia in Kule camp. The training aimed at increasing the capacity of social workers to be able to identify children who need psychosocial support in the child friendly spaces. Two child protection registration help desks have been established in the new Pugnido 2 refugee camp, right next to ARRA and UNHCR registration desks to handle issues related to unaccompanied minors and separated children and other vulnerable children. A training workshop was conducted for 27 social workers on the basic concepts of CFCs and psychosocial support so as to enable them to support the children that attend the temporary child friendly space and other vulnerable children in the new Pugnido 2 camp. Funding: UNICEF has increased its funding requirement to US$55 million (from US$ 49 million), in view of the increased humanitarian needs following the drought situation in the country. The additional fund is required to support the Ministry of Health together with WHO and partners in vaccinating 5.3 million children in nutrition hot spot woredas against measles and support the Government in scaling up the CMAM programme. In addition to the US$55 million, UNICEF requires US$13 million in 215; to purchase nutrition supplies for the first quarter of 216, to give three to four months lead-time to deliver the supplies to the country. UNICEF s 215 appeal is currently 34 per cent funded, leaving a shortfall of US$36 million. UNICEF Ethiopia appreciates the generous contribution in 215; US$5,4, from USAID/OFDA, US$5,516,27 from the Central Emergency Response Fund, US$ 5,158,212 from the Government of the UK, US$1,999,753 from the Humanitarian Response Fund, US$497,238 from Italian Development Cooperation and US$395,256 from the Government of Canada..
