(MENAFN) Over 101,000 Ethiopians have been relocated by aggression in western Ethiopia, stated the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA) on Monday, Jan. 11.
A report by the UNOCHA stated: "between the end of July 2020 and Jan. 4, 2021, more than 101,000 people were displaced by violence in Ethiopia's western Benishangul-Gumuz regional state."
The UNOCHA report added: "the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) are sheltered in public spaces, including schools, meeting halls, while others have set up temporary make-shift shelters, some are staying with relatives and others are out in the open."
The UNOCHA report cautioned that constant insecurity in many parts of Benishangul-Gumuz regional state is projected to create an extra number of IDPs.
