摘要

War has many terrible impacts. One of them is that victims suffer from food insecurity. This study was conducted in Northeastern Ethiopia, in areas affected by the Northern Ethiopia war. The study aimed to measure the level of household food security and identify the major determinants of food security in the war-torn areas. The study used a quantitative research approach with qualitative support. Dietary energy supply and household dietary diversity score (HDDS) were employed to measure food security at the household level. Moreover, binary logistic regression was applied to identify the determinants of household food security. The result showed that the main productive resources of the household were destroyed by the war. Moreover, taking 2100 kcal as a threshold, the dietary energy supply revealed that 68.4% of households in general and nearly 70% of female-headed households are food insecure. Besides, the HDDS result showed that 82% of households in general and 86% of female-headed households in particular are forced to eat a monotonous diet. Due to the war, households are exposed to serious food insecurity problems. Though this problem is visible, no entity has taken responsibility for the damage and works to rehabilitate the household sustainably. If these households are to recover from food insecurity, it is important for the relevant parties, including the government, to hold the perpetrators accountable by law and find a solution that will help the households sustainably. Investment in household livelihood helps to ensure the household’s food security.
