In early November 2020, tension between the Ethiopian Government and the Tigray region resulted in confrontation between the Tigray Region Special Forces and the Ethiopian National Defence Forces. The fighting has resulted in loss of life; injuries; destruction of property and infrastructure; displacement; loss of livelihood and has led to psychological distress. Government structures are partially or completely non-functional in some areas. The Ethiopian Red Cross (ERCS) was also affected and lost 60 ambulances. Three Red Cross pharmacies were looted.
