Video: Save the Children.\n\nMore children than ever before are living in conflict zones.\n\nThey are growing up in insecure and frighteningly challenging environments.\n\nFighting, violence, destruction of homes and communities, as well as loss of family, and schools can affect children's physical and mental well-being. Without the right support, the psychological toll of conflict on children can be huge, with lifelong impacts.\n\nFurthermore, additional insecurities around money, food, warmth and shelter can cause stress to caregivers and lead to abuse and anxiety at home. This has been shown to have a significant influence on children's well-being and long-term development.\n\nThere is still a stigma around mental health in many places, often meaning children do not get the support they desperately need.\n\nEvery child, no matter where they live, deserves to live a safe, happy and healthy life.\n\nSave the Children has been able to help children to better cope with their experiences through mental health, and psychosocial support, often delivered through our Child-Friendly Spaces.\n\nThese are safe spaces where children can redevelop emotional relationships and resume social practices that have been interrupted by conflict. This is vital to help children overcome what they have experienced.",

"title": "News: Lawmakers from Oromia urge AU to \"intervene and negotiate\" to end conflict in Oromia, repeat call for warring parties - Addis Standard",
"body": "Addis Abeba - Ethiopian members of the national parliament who are elected from Oromia regional state, sent a letter to the African Union suggesting the continental body to \"intervene and negotiate to reach an agreement\" to resolve the war in Oromia that has been going on for almost five years between the Oromo Liberation Army and the Ethiopian government.\n\nIn a letter addressed to the AU, a copy of which is seen by Addis Standard, the MPs said they would like to see a peaceful resolution between the warring parties.\n\nThe letter made a reference to a call made in February by president of the Oromia regional state Shimelis Abdissa made for reconciliation with the OLA while addressing the 6th regular meeting of Caffee Oromia, the regional council. In response the Oromo Liberation Army (OLA), said that any call for peaceful resolution of the ongoing war in Oromia \"through civilized discourse\" is \"a welcome news\", but cautioned that the call \"lacks the requisite clarity and nuance to be too optimistic about the overtures of an imminent peace process in Oromia\".\n\nExpressing their happiness over the AU brokered cessation of hostilities between the federal government and the TPLF, the lawmakers said they are \"deeply saddened that [the] African Union underestimated the fighting that has claimed many lives in Oromia region of Ethiopia for more than four years.\"\n\nIn a similar call addressed to the office of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, the House of People's Representatives (HoPR) and the Ruling Prosperity Party, the lawmakers made the call for peace end of the conflict and stated that \"the government should get out of political conspiracy and of the agenda of destroying the armed forces operating in Oromia\" and instead commit to negotiated peaceful resolution of the conflict.\n\nIn addition, the MPs asked the government to \"prepare itself for a true and fairly formulated peace agreement\" as the war in Oromia is causing multilayered destruction, noting that the instability, turmoil, and violence in Oromia are endangering human lives, causing economic and social problems in the region and beyond.\n\n\"If this situation of civil war in Oromia is not resolved, we are concerned that the number of armed forces operating in Oromia will increase further and the problems we have experienced in the past four years may continue\", the MPs warned, adding that, \"If the problem is not resolved timely, it's repercussions will increase, and solving it will be difficult.\n\nThe MPs also extended their call to the Oromo liberation Army (OLA) to \"negotiate with the Ethiopian government and solve the problem through dialogue\" and for he rebel group to be \"flexible\"; they added that that in \"political negotiations everything can't be gained and everything will not be lost\".\n\n\"Your questions will be answered in the short, medium and long term, as the political situation changes. Some of your demands will not be answered overnight; they will get answers through a gradual process\" the MPs plead the OLA.\n\nAppreciating the African Union's role in ending and mediating the war and ensuing security crisis in northern Ethiopia, the lawmakers from the Oromia regional state raised their concern that the AU \"underestimated the fighting that has claimed many lives in Oromia for more than four years.\"\n\nThey asked the \"African Union to intervene and mediate the warring parties to reach an agreement\" emphasizing the necessity of a peaceful resolution to the war in the Oromia region.\n\nThe MPs latest call for the peaceful resolution of the war in Oromia came in the backdrop of U.S Secretary of State Antony Blinken's remarks where he \"expressed concerns about the situation in Oromia and the need for a resolution through dialogue,\" subsequent to meeting with Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed in his first visit to Ethiopia last week.\n\nOn 05 December 2022, the same MPs, after discussing the security circumstances in the Oromia region drafted a letter urging the government to mediate and reach a peace agreement with the Oromo Liberation Army (OLA), in the same way it did with Tigrayan forces, and sent it to Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed and concerned bodies, calling for an end to conflict in the region.

"title": "SYRIA: Children terrified of sleeping in tents as storms and flooding damage shelters of families already affected by the earthquakes | Save the Children International",
"body": "Children playing and walking through flood water and mud in a camp for internally displaced people in Idlib, Syria [Hurras Network/ Save the Children]\n\nAmman, 20 March 2023: Torrential rainfall and flooding have damaged camps and villages across earthquake affected areas of northern Syria, with children too scared to sleep in tents, Save the Children warned today.\n\nMore than 4,000 families in northern Syria have been affected by the flooding, which has caused extensive damage, particularly in camps for internally displaced people (IDP). At least 375 tents sheltering families have been destroyed or left uninhabitable, and over 530 tents were partially damaged, according to Save the Children's partners in the area.\n\nThe flooding has also cut off roads, restricting efforts to reach communities who are still in need of humanitarian assistance following last month's earthquakes.\n\nThe flooding happened as the international community prepares to meet today in Brussels to pledge fundings and support an effective response to the vast scale of needs in both Türkiye and Syria. This is a critical window to meet ongoing immediate needs and help children recover.\n\nSamira*, 38, is a mother of three. They have been living in a makeshift camp since the earthquakes forced them to flee the camp they had been living in for four years. She said: \"Ever since the earthquake, I've been trying to convince my children that the tent is safe. The sound of the thunder and the flood is making them and myself scared and cry. People here are telling us that if rain continues, it might drown the camp completely. We haven't recovered from the fear of the earthquake yet, and we have to deal with this now''.\n\nIn another impacted camp in northern Aleppo, Sanaa*, seven years old, says she is worried about her younger siblings. She told her mother: \"Let us not sleep tonight. You hold Majed* (her little brother) and I will hold Sara* (her little sister) so they don't drown while sleeping''. The family has been living in the camp for the past four years.\n\nRasha Muhrez, Save the Children Syria Response Director said:\n\n\"The flooding shows how truly vulnerable children and their families are across northern Syria. The rains have compounded their needs, forcing them once again from their shelter, leaving them to pick up the pieces. What more can children be expected to endure? Today, the international community needs to make concrete commitments to supporting them, so that children have safe places to sleep, access to education and protection services including psycho-social support to process all that has happened to them.\"\n\nSave the Children has been providing assistance to the children in need in Syria since 2012. Save the Children programming combines emergency and life-saving interventions with early recovery activities that support the restoration of basic services and aims to reach every last child in need.\n\nAs part of the earthquake response, Save the Children is delivering aid through partners, responding in Idlib, Aleppo and Raqqa governorates, and providing emergency food rations, blankets, tents and warm clothing. Save the Children is also making sure children and their families can keep clean, healthy and protected from illness and diseases, as well as providing protection services, including psycho-social support.",

"body": "Addis Abeba: Solomon Soka, member of the House of Representatives for Konso Nation and director general of Information Network Security Administration (INSA), requested urgent attention to the people of Konso who are exposed to severe damage due to drought.\n\nResidents in the area are subjected to severe and devastating drought and displacement caused by a natural disaster, resulting in a lack of rain, which challenged their hard work and livelihood, according to Konso Zone government communication directorate. The area has not received sufficient precipitation for over four consecutive years.\n\nA month ago, regional authorities in Southern Nations, Nationalities and People's (SNNP) regional state warned that the persistent drought in the Konso zone has threatened the lives of many. The lack of food and fodder is killing people and animals on daily basis. The issue continues to be concerning despite the assistance being provided by the zonal safety-net development program and other partners.\n\nGelgelo Gelsho, the region's deputy president, stated the drought situation reached a critical point, rivers in the zone have all dried up, and an immediate solution is needed at the time.\n\nIn July last year, local authorities in Konso zone confirmed the death of at least 13 children due to hunger as drought and conflicts continued to affect the area. The number of malnourished children in the district was also growing, with more than 240 of them admitted to hospitals already.\n\nIn the neighboring Borena zone of the Oromia regional state, the impact of the drought is also taking a toll leaving more than 800,000 residents of the zone in need of immediate food assistance.\n\nUN's Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said between June and December of 2022, South-Eastern part of Ethiopia, including Somali, Oromia, and the Southern Nations and Nationalities People's region (SNNPR), experienced one of the worst droughts recorded in the Horn of Africa, impacting 12 million people.\n\nThe community has been consulted on current concerns by the federal and state representatives of the Konso people as well as representatives of various societies in the area.\n\nWater supplies and power outages have been identified as key problems by society's representatives. Further difficulties with roads, energy, water, development, and good governance are the barriers preventing the zone's development.\n\nThe Konso zone is among the volatile areas prone to inter-communal clashes in the SNNPR. In April 2022, some 37,000 people have fled the Segen Zuria and Sagan districts of the zone due to the communal clash erupted between the Konso people and the bordering Ale special district. The volatile security situation, particularly in Segen Zuria Woreda, hindered provision of humanitarian assistance, it was reported.\n\nThe representatives of the society requested the attention and involvement of all stakeholders in ensuring lasting peace, rehabilitating people who are at risk of hunger, and displacement due to drought and conflict.
