The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has issued a warning regarding a growing humanitarian crisis in northern Kenya, as an estimated 50,000 people have fled clashes in Ethiopia and crossed the border into Moyale in search of safety. Since October 22, significant cross-border movements have been reported, with the number of arrivals remaining fluid as registration and verification efforts continue.
Many of those fleeing the violence are women and children, raising concerns over their protection and access to essential services. The UNHCR has deployed an emergency team to Moyale to support the response and is working with the Kenyan government and other humanitarian partners to address the urgent needs of the displaced population.
