In 2025, thousands of households suffered from the devastating effects of conflict combined with growing impacts of climate change, in rural areas of Lasta and Bugna Woredas (districts), in the North Wollo zone of the Amhara region.

Through the distribution in June of wheat and teff seeds, alongside fertilizers, the ICRC helped local farmers and their families restore food security and rebuild their lives. After their harvests, farmers highlighted significant improvements, many reporting that their production doubled.
