00:0018 months after Ethiopia's war in Tigray, displaced people are still heading to this
00:06camp in Enda Baguna.
00:08Around 20 arrive every day.
00:10Hailom is one of the many hoping for help.
00:14Before the war, this building was used to register Eritrean refugees.
00:19It was not made to host so many people.
00:22We are way over capacity.
00:23Many newcomers are without a roof and have to beg to survive.
00:30Hailom has found shelter in this shed.
00:32It's basic, but is an improvement on the dangers that forced him to flee.
00:38The soldiers were coming on my land at night, and they were stealing the cattle and anything
00:42they could find on the farm.
00:44One day, they shot me in the arm and broke it.
00:46It was very painful, and I wasn't able to take care of it properly.
00:51Then I fled here.
00:53Belay Nesh is pregnant and arrived a week ago with her two young children.
01:00People who were here already in the camp helped me and gave me a sheltered spot.
01:05We have water, but there isn't enough food.
01:09Enda Baguna now hosts around 48,000 displaced people, but the resources to help them fall
01:14woefully short.
01:15They want to return to their place of origin, even if they don't want to meet their ancestors.
01:21If they can go to their place of origin, they can harvest, work, do some activities
01:26like cultural and economical activities.
01:29That's what all the IDPs are asking, even for the government, for the federal government,
01:34even for the international community.
01:36In May, over 5,000 people were relocated to another camp, where they can receive more
01:41aid.
01:42Many of them have been far from home for over three years.
