UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, is stepping up assistance to conflict-affected populations in Ethiopia's northern Tigray, Afar and Amhara regions. They have been relocated to the recently established Alemwach site in Amhara region, where more than 22,000 Eritrean refugees and asylum-seekers are now living. Conditions for Eritrean refugees in Tigray have been dire throughout much of the conflict. UNHCR is also working closely with local authorities in northern Ethiopia to support Ethiopians displaced by the conflict. The door to provide much needed humanitarian assistance is now open; we must get the resources needed to provide it.
