Sudanese refugee child Maha 10, looks through a curtain at her shelter in the Kurmuk transit centre in the Benishangul-Gumuz region of northwestern Ethiopia. Her mother, Hawa, 40, fled the violence in Sudan with her ten children and 80-year-old mother in June last year. ; Ethiopia hosts one of the largest refugee and internally displaced populations in the world. As the third largest refugee-hosting country in Africa, it is currently home to nearly 1 million refugees – mainly from South Sudan, Somalia, Eritrea, and Sudan – while an estimated 3.5 million Ethiopians are internally displaced. Since April 2023, more than 100,000 people have crossed into Ethiopia from Sudan, including close to 47,000 refugees and asylum-seekers. These come in addition to some 50,000 Sudanese refugees already in the country. More than 20,000 refugees, returnees and asylum-seekers are currently hosted at the Kurmuk transit centre in Benishangul-Gumuz state, northwestern Ethiopia. UNHCR and partners are providing basic life-saving assistance such as shelter, food, water and emergency health services, as they wait to be relocated to a new settlement away from the border.
