The Conflict And Refugee Crisis Continues In Ethiopia's Tigray Province

VOA: Ethiopians Continue Streaming Into Sudan, Fleeing Tigray Region Violence

GENEVA - The U.N. refugee agency (UNHCR) reports some 800 Ethiopians have arrived in eastern Sudan since the start of the new year. 

This brings the total number of refugees who have fled Ethiopia’s conflict-ridden Tigray region to more than 56,000 since early November. 

The number of daily arrivals is lower than at the start of the crisis when fighting in Tigray was particularly intense and thousands were fleeing every day. 

Nevertheless, the UNHCR sees no let up to the violence, abuse and dangers confronting area civilians. UNHCR spokesman Andrej Mahecic says hundreds of Ethiopians continue to flee for their lives. He says refugees are arriving in eastern Sudan fatigued and weak after days of travel, with little more than the clothes on their backs.
