This study investigates the humanitarian impacts of conflict in Ethiopia’s Amhara Region, focusing on displacement, socio-economic disruption, and the erosion of traditional support systems. Large populations have been uprooted, facing poverty, insecurity, and resource shortages. Adopting a human security lens, the research explores displaced communities’ resilience and survival strategies, and assesses the effectiveness of humanitarian interventions in relief and recovery. A qualitative, desk-based design relying solely on secondary data (2020–2025) from UNHCR, IOM, OCHA, government agencies, NGOs, peer-reviewed studies, and credible media was employed to avoid risks to vulnerable populations. Purposive sampling ensured relevance, credibility, and empirical depth. Thematic content analysis focused on four areas: drivers and patterns of displacement; survival strategies and resilience; humanitarian response effectiveness; and long-term socio-economic impacts. Findings reveal that, despite severe challenges, displaced populations employ adaptive mechanisms to sustain livelihoods and social cohesion. The study emphasizes the importance of context-specific, community-driven interventions that integrate local voices, meet immediate needs, and foster sustainable recovery and stability
