<p>Ethiopia hosts nearly 1 million refugees of whom 43%, roughly 420,000 people, originate
from South Sudan. The vast majority of South Sudanese refugees in Ethiopia reside
in seven camps in Gambella region. Refugees experience pressing humanitarian hardships
in Gambella due to a combination of factors including recurrent flooding exacerbated
by a shortage of donor funding. Between 2022 and 2023 aid agencies recorded a near
doubling of cases of severe acute malnutrition among children under five years at
Kule refugee camp. The UK is lobbying humanitarian agencies to ensure aid is prioritised
effectively and reaches the most vulnerable.</p>
