Leilti (30) and her daughter Lela (3) are tired after their first night sleeping under the open in Um Rakuba camp. They arrived with the rest of the family of five the day before and are waiting together with a big group of new arrivals close to the entry of the camp. Leilti is five months pregnant, and found the journey to Sudan very hard. "I wish I don't have to give birth to my baby in this place, " she tells NRC. Photo: Ingebjørg Kårstad/NRC

Vi gir nødhjelp til Tigrayflyktningene i Sudan

Ikke bare gravide kvinner, men også syke eldre og familier er blant flyktningene som daglig ankommer Sudan fra konfliktrammede Etiopia. Flere av familiene har kommet bort fra hverandre på veien. Mange er traumatiserte, og alle har et stort behov for nødhjelp.

 

– Folk sover ute, sier Will Carter, som leder Flyktninghjelpens arbeid i Sudan. – Mange familier har ingenting annet enn klærne de flyktet i. De savner sine kjære og overlever på svært lite.

Vi er til stede og gir pengestøtte, utdanning og husly til de trengende.

Um Rakuba refugee camp on 2 December 2020. The camp is located 70 kilometers from the Ethiopian border inside eastern Sudan. It currently hosts some 10,000 Ethiopia refugees, who have fled fighting in Ethiopia’s Tigray region over the past month. Jan Egeland, Secretary General of the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC), was on the ground in the camp speaking with families who had fled the violence. NRC has set up emergency schooling for children displaced by the violence. Already a school for 700 children is up and running after five days operating in the camp.
