Tens of thousands flee Ethiopia fighting into neighbouring Kenya

These people are among tens of thousands who've been forced from their homes in the Ethiopian town of Moyale to the Kenyan side of the same town over the last week or so because of heavy fighting between the forces of the Oromia regional government and the Somali regional government and many of the people here haven't eaten for days. Many of the women are pregnant. People need medical care. So the Kenya Red Cross is mobilising a response to registering people here for medical services But these people have been forced from their homes at a time when the world's richest countries are cutting budgets for humanitarian aid and at a time when Ethiopia's government is facing rebellions in several other regions. It's been fighting in the Tigray region. It's facing escalating tensions with its neighbour, Eritrea. It's the eighth time that this conflict has erupted since Ethiopia redrew its internal boundaries along ethnic lines in the 1990s but this time around, people don't know how long they're going to stay here and how much help they'll get if they do.
