AGP Executive Report
Last update: 12 hours agoDisaster Response: A landslide hit Tsadqane Debre Mitmaq St Mary Monastery in Ethiopia’s Amhara region during an overnight Orthodox prayer service, killing 14 worshippers and injuring several others; search and rescue has been halted and funerals held as officials say heavy overnight rain and lightning triggered the collapse. Humanitarian Funding: UNICEF warns Ethiopia’s 2026 humanitarian appeal for children and families is severely underfunded, with only about 22% of the $401.5m needed currently available, as conflict, climate shocks, disease outbreaks and economic stress disrupt essential services. Health & Climate Risk: A new study flags climate change as a driver of malaria spread into cooler parts of Africa, including East African highlands such as Ethiopia, urging earlier preparation in local health systems. Community Health & Nutrition: As demand grows for “gluten-free” foods, Nairobi nutritionists point to indigenous crops like cassava, millet and sorghum as naturally gluten-free options rich in fibre—though they stress gluten-free isn’t automatically a weight-loss fix. Regional Health Diplomacy: In the wider Horn of Africa context, Ethiopia’s humanitarian needs and health emergencies remain closely tied to regional instability and funding gaps.
