MIGRATION AND HEALTH (Refugees and Returnees in Ethiopia)

Abstract

There are in the world today more than 30million refugees and internally displaced persons within the borders of their own countries, most of whom are currently dependent on international relief assistance for their survival. Conflicts and famine are among the most frequent causes of these forced mass population movements. These are people who have not only lost everything, but in addition, must struggle for survival simply to recover their dignity as human beings.
