UNHCR: Conflict and Disasters Displace 1.9 Million Ethiopians

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has reported that Ethiopia currently hosts approximately 1.9 million internally displaced persons (IDPs). According to the latest figures, the vast majority of this displacement—about 1.7 million people—is attributed to ongoing conflict across the country. Additionally, natural disasters have caused the displacement of 173,000 individuals. These statistics underscore the significant humanitarian challenge facing the nation as millions remain uprooted from their homes.
