John,
It’s been nearly two years since the civil war in the Tigray region of Ethiopia broke out, causing millions to flee. Just this week, the head of the World Health Organization described the situation as "the worst disaster on Earth as we speak".
Under these desperately challenging circumstances, sexual and reproductive health remains a critical priority – and IPPF is committed to ensuring those who want and need healthcare receive it. Take a look at how we’re doing that:

We have been supporting survivors of the conflict by setting up inclusive clinics which provide pregnancy testing, pre- and post-natal care (including ultrasounds), HIV and STI testing and care, and contraceptives. We do this in proud partnership with our network of compassionate volunteer doctors, community counsellors, youth volunteers, and many more – because it takes a village to make a humanitarian response of this scale happen.
Did you enjoy and learn something in our video? Please share it with your friends and family, and consider donating so we can continue these vital sexual and reproductive health responses and more:

Your support in watching, sharing, or donating is invaluable, and plays a crucial role in reminding the world that this crisis is far from over. Let’s continue to band together to help as many people as we can. Thank you.
In solidarity,
Julia Taft Director IPPF Humanitarian Team
