Ethiopia’s Tigray region for Sudan humanitarian crisis resulting in the civilian displacement
A current situation or story found on Global Health Now focuses on Ethiopia’s Tigray region for Sudan. According to the article, approximately 600,00+ individuals have fled the area due to months of conflict resulting in a massacre of civilians, and the destruction of their health facilities by Eritrean forces. The destruction and looting of these clinics have caused the health system in the area to collapse leaving civilians with no access to healthcare and doctors taking over other facilities and treating their own instead of the civilians. The humanitarian crisis has left the civilians mentally traumatized because of sexual assaults and violence and witnessing the killings of their people and families (Global Health Now, 2021).
The international organization that is serving the people physically and mentally are the United Nation High Commissioner for Refugee. They are erecting tents to house the displaced civilians, providing resources, and health care services near the Sudanese-Ethiopian borders. These resources include a hot meal, thousands of tents that are hosting up to 5,000 civilians and the organization is working on improving water, security, and sanitation conditions (United Nation, 2021).
The gaps that the churches and faith-based communities can fill to provide help during the humanitarian crisis is providing resources and shelter to the refugees. Also, the churches can be used as a spiritual healing entity to help relieve mental stress from the refugees. However, providing relief is only alleviating the situation temporarily. There needs to be a development put in place as a solution to the crisis. For example, the United Nation investigation resulted in findings that stated the Eritrean forces are behind the mass killings and they should be charged with a war crime. Getting to the root of the issue by eliminating the threat will be the first step to building back the communities these refugees were displaced from (Global Health Now, 2021).
Suggestions for sustainable health promotion and development among the displaced population
My suggestions for sustainable health promotion and development among the displaced population is for the refugee camps to have an appropriate water supply that is clean and the location of the tent sanitary conditions must be taken into consideration. Once sanitation is focused on, the prevention of diseases outbreak during the crisis will be minimized and controlled. Furthermore, regarding development factors for the crisis, those who are responsible for the war must be charged for their crimes, and a plan to build back the communities must be the new focus. Lastly, laws must be implemented to prevent this situation from ever occurring again in the future.
