THE UN refugee agency says thousands of people are continuing to flee fighting and insecurity in the disputed Somaliland town of Las Anod.
An estimated 60,000 have crossed the border into Ethiopia in the past few weeks.
The agency said many arrived exhausted and traumatised, carrying few possessions.
In all, the UN estimates that more than 185,0000 have been displaced in the Las Anod area.
Fighting broke out earlier this month between local forces and those of Somaliland, whose declaration of independence has not been internationally recognised.
