More than 40,000 refugees have fled Ethiopia’s Tigray region to Sudan. UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, and its partners are delivering and distributing life-saving aid, including hot meals, water and latrines for the arrivals.
As more people continue to stream into Sudan, refugees like Filimon are trying to come to terms with the situation. He remembers everyone living a normal life before they had to leave with almost nothing to find safety in Sudan.
UNHCR staff at the Hamdayet border crossing in Kassala State and the Lugdi crossing in Gedaref State, are registering thousands of new arrivals each day. But the humanitarian response continues to face logistical challenges. The relocation of refugees away from the border is hampered by logistics and distances, limiting the number of people being transferred to Um Rakuba camp in Gedaref, some 80 kilometres inside Sudan.
Even before the violence spread through Ethiopia, Sudan was already home to nearly one million refugees, mainly from South Sudan-UNHCR
