 The United Nations Refugee Agency has voiced deep concern on Friday at reports of soldiers taking hundreds of people away from displacement camps in the Tigray region of Ethiopia earlier this week, saying such sites should be a safe haven. Three aid workers and a doctor said that Eritrean and Ethiopian soldiers forcibly detained more than 500 young men and women from four camps for displaced people in the town. Thousands of people have been killed since the conflict erupted. Two million have been forced from their home and 91% of population of nearly six million are in need of aid. It is really, really worrying for us. I mean, UNICR has received very disturbing reports from different community sources that soldiers entered a number of displacement sites in the town of Shireh on Monday night and took away a number of youths in vehicles. Reports also suggest that at least several hundreds were taken away. UNICR is deeply alarmed by the reported incident. The situation is traumatic and distressing, understandably not only for the relatives of the missing, but for all the displaced communities residing in Shireh. We reiterate our call on all parties to ensure the protection of civilians.
