For months, we have been raising the alarm on UNHCR’s lack of action in protecting + providing aid for Tigrayan refugees. We’ve heard reports of human trafficking, refugees eating once a day + lack of support for shelter destroyed by flooding. @Refugees

“The alleged lack of services [by @Refugees] has left camp residents at risk of trafficking, armed recruitment, and sexual violence, which describes the situation as at a stage where “the safety, security and dignity of refugees is at severe risk, + lives may be lost.”
An aid official described efforts to protect refugees as “really, really, really dire”.
“Faced with homelessness after recent storms, the official said, women, especially single mothers, have resorted to sex work to obtain shelter or earn cash.” @Refugees @endrapeinwar @UN_Women

We join the call urging @Refugees to make immediate improvements ahead of the upcoming rainy season, providing sufficient aid + support, with independent third party monitoring – to hold UNHCR and others accountable.
