UNHCR’s late-May 2019 update tracked water works and social protection for refugees in Ethiopia


On 6 June 2019 ReliefWeb carried UNHCR’s bi-weekly Ethiopia operational update for 16–31 May 2019, which summarized work with UNICEF and the International Rescue Committee to strengthen water supply for refugees in Benishangul-Gumuz, including camps such as Gure-Shembola, Bambasi, Tongo, and Tsore.

The same update noted a joint UNHCR–UNICEF social-protection assessment mission to Jijiga in the Somali Region, which was meant to see how community care systems could better reach refugees and host communities.

Kept as humanitarian archive, the bi-weekly file dates how refugee water and social-protection work looked on the ground in Ethiopia at the end of May 2019.
