The conflict in Tigray has had significant consequences and has displaced millions of people including more than 63,000 Ethiopian refugees who have sought safety in Sudan. The UK has provided £6.1 million in funding to the UN High Commissioner for Refugees and the Danish Refugee Council to address urgent needs arising from the Tigray crisis in Sudan. This is part of an overall UK commitment of more than £76 million to respond to the humanitarian crisis caused by the conflict, making the UK the second largest donor. Our priority is to ensure that all Ethiopians including internally displaced people (IDP) and irrespective of ethnicity, religion and political affiliation, receive life-saving aid.
