UN says more than 14,500 have fled Ethiopia to Sudan

The U.N. refugee agency said in a statement on Friday that clashes in Ethiopia had prompted more than 14,500 people to flee into neighbouring Sudan since early November.

Spokesman Babar Baloch said at a Geneva briefing earlier that more than 4,000 had crossed the border within 24 hours. There are also concerns about a mass displacement of thousands of Eritrean refugees at a camp in Ethiopia.
