Ethiopia: hosting the most refugees in Africa
With more than 700 000 refugees Ethiopia hosts the most refugees on the African continent. This requires a humongous effort providing food assistance, water and basic services such as health care but also protection. The European Commission provides humanitarian assistance in all 24 refugee camps across the country. In Tigray and Afar regions, aid organisations are welcoming a constant stream of young Eritreans who are fleeing their country. ©EU/ECHO/Anouk Delafortrie
