Over 40,000 Ethiopians have fled the Tigray crisis into eastern Sudan, with no sign of a let-up in new arrivals. Many anxiously hope to be reunited with their families.
Lezabu is frantic with worry. The single mother-of-three has not seen two of her daughters since she fled the crisis in northern Ethiopia’s Tigray region and crossed into eastern Sudan.
“My eldest daughter left with her younger sister. I don’t know where they are. It’s been weeks without news,” said Lezabu, who is currently staying at a reception centre in Hamdayet, near Sudan’s eastern border with Ethiopia, where refugees continue to arrive by the thousands.
The 38-year-old farmer fled her small town of about 42,000 inhabitants, after fighting erupted.
“I think hundreds of people were killed that day,” she added.
