In Ethiopia, many older individuals live without family or community support. Famine, war, disease, and displacement have separated them from their loved ones. As a result, this isolation leaves them especially vulnerable during crises like droughts.
Challenges Faced by the Elderly
During droughts, older people struggle to find essential resources. Because of limited mobility, it becomes difficult to access food and water. In many cases, they are unable to work or earn an income. Therefore, many are left without any means of survival.
Why Many Elderly People Are Overlooked
Despite their dire circumstances, aid agencies often overlook these elderly individuals. As a result, those who are incapacitated or homeless remain hidden and rarely receive the support they need.
