Ethiopian refugees walk through Um Rakuba camp in Sudan, 1 December 2020. Since early November, more than 56,000 Ethiopian refugees have fled to neighbouring Sudan. In support of the government-led response in Sudan, UNHCR and Sudan’s Commission for Refugees (COR) continue to relocate the refugees from the arrival locations at the border to the designated refugee camps, further inland in Sudan’s Gedaref State. Since this Sunday, 580 refugees were relocated to Tunaydbah from Village 8 reception site, with relocations from Hamdayet reception site set to start also this week. Once more, the government of Sudan is generously keeping its border open to refugees, but additional support is needed to complement the authorities’ response.
