Gebre Kenenew, 75, poses for a portrait in front of bags of wheat at a warehouse in Newraq, Abergele district, Wag Hemra zone, Amhara region, February 5, 2019. Gebre has been a JEOP beneficiary since September 2018, and has received 5 rounds of aid.
When recurrent droughts lead to crop failures in Ethiopia, it can leave families with little or nothing to eat. The Joint Emergency Operation Program (JEOP) distributes wheat, yellow split peas and cooking oil to targeted beneficiaries. In 2018 alone, funding from USAID helped CRS and its partners provide emergency food assistance to more than 1.5 million food insecure people, plus another 506,000 people displaced in southwestern Ethiopia due to ongoing security issues.
