An estimated 200,000 refugees will flee from Ethiopia into Sudan in the coming months.


Ethiopians need your help!

Over 25,000 Ethiopians, around 50% of which are children, have been forced to move for safety, from Ethiopia's Tigray region to Sudan. This comes after ongoing fighting has affected thousands in the region.

4,000 people, according to the UNHCR, are crossing the border, every single day. This is rapidly increasing the need for aid on the ground, as numbers continue to rise. So far, more than 27,000 people have come across to Sudan, a country already supporting 96,000 Eritrean refugees. With electricity, food and fuel supplies being cut off from the Tigray region, it is expected that large amounts of people will become displaced and seek refuge within Sudan.

Reports of mass killings of civilians are forcing people to flee, taking very few belongings with them. Coming over the border with very little has meant that they often don’t have food or water meaning they may be more vulnerable to illnesses.

Sanitation facilities are already suffering due to the overwhelming number of people, affecting hygiene levels. However, health screenings are being conducted (including for Covid-19), in the hopes of avoiding a health crisis.

That's why we are working tirelessly to provide emergency support with food parcels, water and hygiene kits to keep them safe, healthy and fed.
