The United Nations migration agency reports that over four million people in Ethiopia have been forced to leave their homes due to conflict or drought.
The National Displacement Report looked at what happened from November to June 2023. It found that out of all the people who had to leave their homes, two-thirds of them had to do so because of fights and wars.
This is the first time since 2021 that the report includes the Tigray region, where a lot of people in Ethiopia have been forced to leave their homes because of the war. Over a million people have been affected.
The eastern part of Ethiopia, known as the Somali region, has the most people who have been forced to leave their homes because of a lack of rain.
Earlier, the United Nations stated that over 20 million people in Ethiopia needed help with food, and they needed $4 billion to provide that assistance.
