“…However, federal relief and safety net programmes and humanitarian aid interventions funded or administered by UNICEF and Oxfam, Save the Children, and other NGOs, since approximately 2002, have made an explicit effort to prevent people from travelling long distances and sleeping in crowded, makeshift camps to receive aid. Instead, organisations have decentralised the distribution of relief commodities, trucking rations, water, and even emergency healthcare to numerous remote locations throughout affected regions (Watkins and Fleisher, ; Lautze et al, ; de Waal, Tafesse, and Carruth, ; Ministry of Health, ). In previous years families would have had to be destitute, or nearly so, to justify travelling to and settling in faraway therapeutic feeding centres or camps, but today most remote or pastoralist families are either settled year‐round in village centres or camp throughout the year in locations within a one‐day walk of rural communities such as Aysha, Degago, and Elahelay where relief commodities are distributed.…”
