Sudan refugees in Ethiopia caught up in clashes
The UN says it is sending humanitarian aid to more than 20,000 Sudanese and South Sudanese refugees who have been affected by clashes between armed groups and federal forces in the north-west of Ethiopia.
The UN refugee agency says after fighting broke out in the Benishangul-Gumuz region last month, two refugee camps were looted and torched.
With the area still dangerous, 22,000 refugees made their way over long distances to three different sites where the UN is sending assistance.
Violence in Ethiopia’s Benishangul-Gumuz region predates the ongoing war in the Tigray region which began 15 months ago.
