A refugee camp opened on the Somalia-Ethiopia border at the end of June is already full, forcing the United Nations to build another one, the UN’s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said.
As many as 2,000 Somalis fleeing war and drought are arriving each day at three camps in Dolo Odo region of southern Ethiopia, the UN said in an e-mailed statement today. Work on a fourth camp to hold as many as 40,000 people is under way.
