Gambela Region, Administrative region in southwestern Ethiopia

The Gambela Region spans across 29,783 square kilometers of lowland plains and wetlands, featuring a tropical climate different from Ethiopia's highland areas.

The region underwent administrative restructuring in 2004-2005, transforming from nine Weredas into six districts and one special district under Federal government administration.

The region contains multiple ethnic groups, with the Nuer comprising 40 percent and the Anuak 27 percent of the population, each maintaining their languages and traditions.

The transportation network includes developing road infrastructure, while medical services are limited to 21 clinics, one hospital, and seven health centers.

Gambela serves as a settlement area for 268,000 South Sudanese refugees, with multiple camps established throughout the territory.
