The civil war in Ethiopia led to more than 61,000 Tigrayans to flee to the Sudan as refugees. Many are internally displaced. The people left their villages and towns in Tigray due to the war that started on Nov 4 2020. Many refugees report they left their homes unplanned due to bombardment and attack on the life of their loved ones. Many families are separated and are stressed due to the traumatic experiences. There are children with no parents. The project plans to improve their resilience.
