5,000 children separated from parents by Tigray crisis

The charity Save the Children says that children separated from their parents during the conflict in the Ethiopian region of Tigray are now at risk of neglect, as well as physical and sexual abuse. It says many of the children are now living in temporary camps without guardians or caregivers.
