Mortar Attack at Alemwach Refugee Camp Causes Injuries to Eritrean Refugees

A mortar attack on the Alemwach refugee camp in the Amhara region has caused serious injuries to several Eritrean refugees, including an 11-year-old girl and a 2.5-year-old child. The incident occurred in the late afternoon while families were inside their homes, leading to urgent hospitalizations in Gondar. Habteab Yemane, a humanitarian worker, confirmed that the camp, which houses refugees displaced from Tigray, has faced repeated violence and human rights abuses, including 33 reported deaths over the years. With ongoing conflict between federal forces and Fano militia nearby, advocates are calling on the international community to relocate the vulnerable refugees to a safer location.
