[Claude, second read] Agrees: HIGH, a new event. Over 50,000 displaced by deadly clashes; hundreds of thousands displaced criteria not met, but displacement at this scale with fighting qualifies as high.

[Claude] A single low-trust report of mass displacement from Ethiopia border clashes into Kenya lacks verifiable details, sourcing, and independent corroboration, so the figures and the 'deadly' characterisation remain unverified.; [Claude] Single report from a source with trust 0.50; the claim of more than 50,000 displaced is a specific figure with no named source, methodology, or agency confirmation.; [Claude] 'Deadly' clashes: no death toll, dates, or locations within Ethiopia are given, so the scale and timing cannot be verified.; [Claude] Report places families arriving in Kenya but does not specify border crossing points, the sending region, or which party is involved.
