Hundreds flee Tigray after fighting flares near Ethiopia's border with Sudan
Hundreds of people have fled the most serious fighting to break out in Ethiopia's Tigray region since 2022. People are crossing the border into war-torn Sudan amid fears of a return to full-scale civil war.
Fighting has flared in Ethiopia's northern Tigray region, marking the most serious violence since the 2022 peace agreement. Clashes near the border have forced hundreds of people to flee their homes.
Some of those displaced are seeking refuge in neighbouring Sudan, itself gripped by war. The situation highlights the layered nature of the region's humanitarian crisis, with people fleeing one conflict zone only to seek shelter in another.
Observers are watching closely whether the renewed fighting threatens the 2022 peace deal. Escalating tension in the region risks deepening an already fragile humanitarian situation.
