Hundreds of people fleeing the fighting in Sudan cross the main border post at Metema in western Ethiopia every day. Around 15,000 people from sixty different countries have crossed over between April 21st and May 7th. "They have just brought us here and they told us nothing and they support us by, like the stuff, water, food. They're also trying to arrange transport for those that are heading further into Ethiopia and shelter for those who choose to stay in Metema. The UN refugee agency UNHCR has built a refugee shelter about six kilometres away from the border post and so far it has taken in about 400 Sudanese and Eritrean refugees.
