Around 7,000 people have fled rapidly-escalating communal violence in western Ethiopia, seeking safety in neighbouring Sudan, the United Nations said Tuesday.
The region has long been plagued by competition over land and resources, and the UN said many people arriving in Sudan are seeking food, water and health care.
