Hadahra, 60 year old woman temoignage:

• “At the beginning, I received porridge for a few days, but then I became sick so I stopped taking it. It is not well-cooked.”
• “For myself it is less of a problem. I am an old, sick woman so I eat little. But for the rest of my family, they go to the forest or to the river banks to collect wood to sell and then pay for ingredients.”
• “There isn’t enough food in the reception center. Sometimes the food runs out before all the people have received their portion.”
• “In general, we feel safe, but there are some people in the Hamdayet reception centre that go back and forth to bring food from Tigray. They risked their lives and some of them were killed. I feel sad about this. It is sad when you lose your property, but when you lose human life, it is something tragic.”
• “I share with you all the information I know. Hunger is our main problem here. At least we have shelter, but we lack food. Because of the shortage of food, some of the youth take risks and cross the border to bring back food or firewood.”
