I echo @UNReliefChief Tom’s call to all parties in northern #Ethiopia to open humanitarian corridors and allow us to reach all people in need of health and humanitarian lifesaving assistance. The best medicine is peace.

There is an urgent for funds for healthcare workers to get to and from work in Mekelle.

They are overwhelmed and have not been paid for months and they are struggling to get to work.

Please dm if you can setup a fundraising page for this and I will put you in contact…

There is a very urgent need for a humanitarian pause right now to the conflict in #Tigray and for food, fuel, medicine, emergency shelter, clean water, & nutrition support.

Tigrayan civilians did not ask for this war, they only asked for their children to be allowed to survive.

🚨 🚨 Urgent #Ethiopia
The Ethiopian government has undergone a drone strike on civilian infrastructure in the town of Enticho located in Tigray this this morning, Local sources say there are civilian casualties.

The war in Tigray has resumed The drone strikes that is going on for some time have officially began in the Tigray . Several directions were bombed this morning. The media, the administration and the TPLF are still avoiding the war and talking about other topics. However, for two days now, it seems that the war is spreading.

The old war has changed. Now, Ethiopia uses various drones, some of which explode in targeted areas

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

Ten children have died from hypothermia in #Gaza since the onset of winter.
As cold temperatures and heavy rains intensify, children and families sheltering in poorly insulated, makeshift structures face extreme exposure, with little protection from the elements.

Winter conditions, combined with severe overcrowding and inadequate water and sanitation, are increasing the risk of disease outbreaks. Acute respiratory infections are rising, alongside a growing number of severe cases requiring ICU admission.

@WHO continues to support health facilities with essential medicines and equipment. In addition, with support from @AFD_en and @MBRInitiatives, WHO will provide blankets, warm hats for newborns, and thermal “survival” blankets to protect patients from the cold.

WHO reiterates its calls for sustained and unimpeded access across the Gaza Strip, and for the timely entry of essential medical supplies and equipment, as well as winterization and shelter materials — all of which are critical to saving lives.

[SIHA Network @Sihanet]

In her powerful op-ed “A Land Abandoned: The Cost of Global Silence on Darfur,” @ikhlassahmed77 reflects on decades of documented persecution, oppression, and violence against women in #Darfur - from mass displacement to systematic sexual violence - and how global silence has enabled it to continue. Despite the horrors faced, women and grassroots networks are resisting, documenting the truth, and supporting survivors on the ground.

At SIHA Network, our work to document conflict-related sexual violence and protect those impacted has shown that resistance, resilience and the cost of being ignored are real.

📢 “Do not let this be one more forgotten war. Don’t let us become just another footnote for posterity. See us. Hear us. Stand with us. Because Darfur is still burning, but its people are still standing.” - Ikhlass Ahmed

🚨 The drone attacks have reportedly started - see the pictures coming from the Enticho area of Tigray central zone. Unless this is stopped before it gets out of control, the humanitarian crisis and the loss of lives is going to be scarily devastating!

I’m heartbroken and disappointed that Abiy’s regime didn’t heed the advise,reportedly given, by the US Dupty Sec of State @DeputySecState and @USAfricaCommand

People who were visiting Tigray are now stranded in Tigray due to @flyethiopian cancelling flights to all airports in Tigray. The sad news is that the airline is selling tickets that wouldn’t honor to its customers- not surprising since same airline is used to transport Ethiopian military personnel and equipment.

Banks are also cash dry which created economic anxiety in the region.

Open Call: Avert another genocidal war in Ethiopia!

Hello Dupty Sec Landau,
@DeputySecState
@AsstSecStateAF
@USEmbassyAddis

Please see what Ethiopia is doing- buying jets from Russia and organizing rag-tag militias to kill more Ethiopians.

When does the US say enough?

The Abiy regime is going to need public warning and advisory by the US to stop killing its people. I do believe that you may have advised Abiy to avoid war and respect the #PretoriaAgreement. However, given its history, the leadership in Ethiopia respects a more public warning like what @RepGregoryMeeks and his team did recently. The statement by @_AfricanUnion is also another development though it can be seen as too little too late for an organization that enables the 2020-2022 genocidal war against Tigray. I have lost family, friends and more- women’s health research infrastructure, data and trainees from my years of global health work.

If the US can threaten Iran for repression of its people, it’s not hard to argue that Abiy’s Ethiopia is doing much worse- bombing civilians in Tigray, Amhara and Oromia regions- home to above 60 million people.

News: Report says #Russia delivers Yak-130 aircraft, Orion drone to #Ethiopia

Russia has reportedly delivered up to six #Yak-130 advanced trainer and light combat aircraft, along with at least one #Orion combat drone, to Ethiopia, according to #Ukrainian defense publication Defense Express.

Avert another genocide!
Now is the time!
You can read our paper as to how many people were killed and maimed from drone and fighter jet attacks!

Otherwise, complicity will lead to humanitarian catastrophe that would cost the US and western powers billions and an influx of refugees.

Black man named Keith Porter Jr. was shot dead by an off-duty ICE agent as he was celebrating New Years in Northridge, LA.

He was 43, a father of two daughters, and no arrest has been made.

Your giving helped deliver 80,000+ vials of insulin to hospitals across Tigray, providing lifesaving treatment to more than 2,500 diabetic patients, including 600 insulin-dependent cases. In a blockade, you kept care alive.💛

At the height of the war on Tigray, your support kept vital medications on the shelves in 3 Sudanese refugee camps where Tigrayans sought refuge.
