Nigsty was about to become a mother when conflict forced her out of her home in Ethiopia’s Tigray region. Heavily pregnant, she walked for three days and delivered a baby girl in Sudan, where it was safe. What does the future hold for a young family forced to flee their home?
Over 52,000 Ethiopians have fled to Sudan, following conflict in Tigray. UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency and other humanitarian agencies are helping them – providing food, shelter, healthcare, water and sanitation. But the needs are overwhelming and there is a real concern of outbreaks of waterborne diseases. Many of the refugees are women and children.
UNHCR and Sudanese authorities have moved thousands of refugees from border points to Um Rakuba camp, situated some 70 kilometres away from the Ethiopian border. However, many say they prefer to remain near the border to wait for family members still in Ethiopia, or in hopes they will be able to return home soon-UNHCR
Currently many refugees remain in overcrowded conditions without proper facilities and there continues to be a shortage of medicines and other supplies. There is a huge demand for family tracing and reunification, education and child friendly spaces, and nutritional programmes.
At Village 8 the transit centre near the Lugdi crossing, refugees can access clean water in nearby communities and are using a number of existing temporary shelters.
