Violence in Ethiopia’s Northern Tigray Region

Over 60,000 people have fled the violence in Ethiopia’s northern Tigray region in November, December and January seeking safety across the border in Sudan. They travel on foot for days, terrified, exhausted but relieved, after walking long distances over harsh terrain to get to the relative safety of the refugee camps. Many of those fleeing are women and children, often with nothing but the clothes they were wearing.

Refugee Stories

Almaze: A Mother’s Story

She heard the screams. “Run, run! They are coming! They are coming!”
She ran into the fields. Her two sons ran, too, until they lost track of each other.

Suzani Asmlash Grant

The children swarmed around the bus, carrying Suzani Asmlash Grant and a handful of fellow passengers. The crowd cheered the bus onward with expectant faces and hands holding signs.

Abraham Kenfa

Now a single father because his wife died of childbirth while fleeing. “It should have been me,” he said. “I should have been the one to die, not her. She’s a mother.”

Urgent Help Needed

The steady stream of new arrivals initially overwhelmed humanitarian agencies’ capacity to provide aid, and the efforts to help them have only just begun. Urgent needs include food, water, medicines, shelter, sanitation and health care. The lives of those who fled have been shattered. None of them thought they would ever be refugees and have to leave their homes and family behind in many cases.
