Format
ETHIOPIA
▪ On 7 April, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi cited the scaling up of humanitarian operations in Tigray as access widens. The High Commissioner stressed that efforts “must be accelerated, as large numbers of displaced people keeping arriving in urban areas – 350,000 in Shire town alone – and thousands of Eritrean refugees are still dispersed.”
▪ On 18 March, UNHCR and partners were able to access Shimelba and Hitsats refugee camps for the first time since November 2020. The mission confirmed the destruction of all infrastructure and the absence of refugees in the two camps. The mission was able to briefly visit Sheraro where they received reports of both IDPs and refugees in and around the town. A follow-up mission to Sheraro is planned.
