Ethiopia: National Access Map (As of 31 October 2025)

Humanitarian operations across Ethiopia remained largely unhindered during the months of September and October 2025, with more than 800 woredas and towns accessible to aid organizations. Despite this broad access, 41 woredas were classified as hard-to-reach — 36 in Amhara and 5 in Oromia — primarily linked to localized insecurity and the presence of various armed actors. An additional 289 woredas experienced partial accessibility, with intermittent constraints affecting the delivery of assistance (see National Access Map). Compared to the previous two months, access conditions showed some deterioration in South Wello, North Shewa (Amhara), and West Shewa (Oromia) Zones. Humanitarian partners remain actively engaged in addressing these challenges and are working closely with stakeholders to overcome access barriers and ensure that life-saving aid reaches all communities in need.
