Gambella faces a profound humanitarian challenge: 450,000 refugees— more arriving. UNHCR is providing life‑saving support, but resources are stretched. In Jewi camp, ~70,000 rely on one doctor! Support is needed to advance inclusion &self‑reliance through Ethiopia’s Mekatet plan
00:00 - In Ethiopia’s Gambella region, High Commissioner @BarhamSalih met some of the 450,000 South Sudanese refugees hosted here. With resources strained, thousands of new arrivals expected from renewed conflict in South Sudan need lifesaving aid now, while seeking lasting solutions.
