Humanitarian situation said stable

    ABIDJAN
    The humanitarian situation in Eritrea has been quite stable over the last six months, except for the arrival of some 65,000 deportees from Ethiopia, humanitarian sources told IRIN. They said many of the arrivals were accommodated with host families and were difficult to reach. The sources also said funding for humanitarian assistance had been a major problem. Only 22 percent of the last appeal was received. UNHCR meanwhile is discussing a possible return to the country after it was ordered out two years ago. The agency wants to assist in the repatriation of some 100,000 Eritreans from Sudan.
