00:02Gunfire echoes across the Ethiopia-Kenya border in Molaye.
00:07The clashes stem from a territorial dispute between Ethiopia's Oromia and Somali regions,
00:13further inflamed by the killing of a 13-year-old girl.
00:17The violence is driving thousands to flee into Kenya.
00:23The war started suddenly. Then we displaced from that area.
00:30So we are facing a lot of challenges here in this refuge.
00:35But I'm still treating people in this refuge with a Kenyan cross raid voluntarily.
00:46The UN says 36,000 people have fled into Kenya as fighting near Molaye intensifies,
00:54with women and children making up most of those displaced.
00:58The war is still continuing in Ethiopia.
01:03But what we are doing, more and more people are fleeing from their country coming to our town.
01:14So the initial number of people who were in camps and also had integrated with the community
01:27is still growing up day by day.
01:34Local leaders are sounding the alarm, warning that the influx could overwhelm communities
01:40already facing food and water shortages.
