Tigray Refugees with Disabilities in Eastern Sudan Camps

People with disabilities are often left behind during humanitarian assistance. In cooperation with the International Disability Alliance, Islamic Relief Worldwide commissioned a report to document the needs of refugees with disabilities who have been affected by the armed conflict in Tigray, Ethiopia, and are living in camps in eastern Sudan camps. The research, which was carried out by two researchers with disabilities, highlights the persistent exclusion of persons with disabilities across all sectors. The report identifies barriers faced by persons with disabilities and provides practical recommendations to all stakeholders to ensure the protection of the rights of persons with disabilities during armed conflict.

Islamic Relief helped in minimising these risks by providing inclusive vehicles to the most in need and at risk communities including children, female-headed households, older persons and persons with disabilities. Reflections on these services are presented in this learning paper, along with recommendations for more inclusive programming.
