Ethiopia : UNHCR Statement On the Protests By Refugees From Awlala and Kumer Refugee Sites in the Amhara Region of Ethiopia

While efforts to convince the rest of the group to return to the site continue, local authorities are providing for their security. UNHCR and its partner World Vision International have also deployed a mobile health clinic to the area to provide medical support, if needed. Another group of over 300 refugees from the Kumer site have decided to stay by the road close to a Federal Police Post, also stating security concerns.

Since the conflict broke out in Sudan more than a year ago, the Government and people of Ethiopia have kept their doors open to refugees. To date, over 53,500 refugees have crossed into the country, with about half of them being hosted in the Amhara region and the other half in the Benishangul Gumuz region. The Government identified two sites to establish refugee sites in the Amhara region, Kumer and Awlala.
