The bridge to Ethiopia carrying Sudan's refugees to safety
More than 20,000 people have already fled from Sudan into Ethiopia across the Metema bridge.

After recently surviving the journey herself, Luwam Mussie now works as a UN translator at the makeshift medical centre in the border town, while Dr Berecha Alemu has just arrived from the capital Addis Ababa to help treat people there.
