May 4, 2024 (GEDAREF) – Thousands of Sudanese refugees have fled camps run by the United Nations in Ethiopia in northern Ethiopia, protesting a lack of security, severe food shortages, and inadequate medical care. The UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) estimates 27,000 Sudanese refugees in Amhara and 20,000 in Benishangul-Gumuz. These dire conditions have driven many refugees to leave the camps, venturing into the unknown. Mustafa Omer, another refugee in Gondar, Ethiopia, urged the international community to address the dire humanitarian crisis caused by the Sudanese war. “There’s clear discrimination among refugees,” Omer said.
