On the Ethiopian border, refugees fleeing fighting, famine make for Sudan

Solomon Gebrehenes:

Many of Sudan’s major donors are also worried.

In a letter to the UNHCR, the United Nations agency that set up the camps, ambassadors from the U.S., EU, and six countries expressed, “serious concern about the UNHCR’s leadership,” and requested urgent action to improve the camps, writing: “The safety, security, and dignity of refugees is at severe risk, and lives may be lost.”
