The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, Filippo Grandi visited Mai-Aini refugee camp Saturday (30 Jan) meeting Eritrean refugees and government officials.
Refugee camps in Tigray were cut off from humanitarian assistance for almost two months following the start of conflict in early November last year. The insecurity forced humanitarian workers to withdraw from the region.
UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, regained access to two refugee camps - Mai Aini and Adi Harush in January and found refugees in desperate need of supplies and services.
Further north in Tigray, we have not had any access to the Shimelba and Hitsats refugee camps. About 3000 refugees have arrived in southern camps from the north seeking safety, walking for days with no food and having left everything behind.
In Mai Aini and Adi Harush camps, buildings and structures remain intact, including refugee homes, schools and clinics, with little damage observed. However, refugees say they are afraid and while they were not impacted directly from the fighting, they were threatened and harassed by various armed groups.
UNHCR has started distribution of Non-Food Items (NFIs) like blankets, solar lamps and household supplies.
