Eritrea - Drought

Map of Eritrea

Regional Team: ECA
East Africa

Disaster Declared: 10/10/2003

Brief Description: In May 1998, Ethiopia and Eritrea began a border conflict that continued until June 2000. The conflict and drought conditions during the past three years, particularly in the Anseba, Debub, Gash-Barka, Northern Red Sea, and Southern Red Sea zones, affected more than 2 million people. The failure of the winter harvest in eastern regions during 2000 created additional external food assistance needs. The USG has provided more than $126 million to assist conflict- and drought-affected populations in Eritrea since 1993.
