A worsening crisis in northern Ethiopia where ongoing clashes between the Ethiopian federal government and Tigray regional forces are driving thousands of people to flee into Sudan.
As the numbers of people fleeing Ethiopia’s Tigray region for eastern Sudan now exceed 33,000, UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, is working to get enough vitally needed assistance to people in great need.
Staff at Hamdayet border crossing in Kassala State, and the Lugdi crossing in Gedaref State, continue to register thousands of new arrivals each day. Many fled with nothing except what they had with them and then had to walk for hours and cross a river to seek safety in Sudan.
Refugees are arriving in remote areas that have very little infrastructure. The overall needs are huge, but there has been some progress in meeting them as more assistance reaches the border.
Hot meals are still being provided; water is being delivered. UNHCR has deployed staff to identify the most vulnerable people with particular needs. More medical supplies are reaching the health clinics including ready to use therapeutic and supplementary food-UNHCR
