Food crises and coping strategies in war-affected communities in Tigray, Ethiopia: A community-based cross-sectional study among households
The study revealed that the communities affected by the war faced a tough struggle due to the food crisis. The study highlights the food crisis in war-affected communities, highlighting coping mechanisms like reducing meal quantity and quality and eating less desirable foods. Thus, targeted food ration distributions and blanket supplemental feeding programs should be in place through humanitarian agents to reduce acute malnutrition and mortality, and enable recovery.
