@DrTedros As the 🌍 looks away, the people of Hitsats and Tigray are dying from a lack of food and medicine. This cycle of suffering in Tigray must end. Please use your voice to demand the world acts before the death toll rises further. #GlobalHealth@EU_Commission@UKParliament

A self-initiated aid worker who organized volunteers to raise funds for victims of the #Famine at the #HitsasIDPCamp in #Tigray breaks down in tears while standing before a dying elderly man. The scene is devastating and heartbreaking 💔😭
@POTUS Your leadership is needed to stop the wave of death in Hitsats, Tigray. Thousands are facing extreme starvation in Tigray. We urge the US to take a stand and ensure that life-saving aid reaches those who need it most. 🇺🇸🌍 #ActNow#HumanRights 1

@AzebAz6 It sure is heartbreaking & disappointing. I can't believe this is happening to #Tigray again. Please do all that we can to help the innocent men, women, children, & elderly who are suffering. They need immediate attention from #IC & everyone else. @hrw@UN_HRC@amnesty@BBC
More than 6,600 IDPs at the Addi Mehammedai IDP camp are on the verge of death from hunger and disease. Those who escaped the massacres in Western Tigray and managed to reach IDP camps in the rest of Tigray are now perishing in silence.

#Ethiopia: Tigray civil societies, political parties raise alarm over deepening humanitarian crisis at #Hitsats IDP camp
A growing number of political parties, civil society organizations, and advocacy groups have issued urgent appeals warning of a deepening humanitarian crisis at the Hitsats internally displaced persons (#IDP) camp and other displacement sites across #Tigray, citing deaths from hunger, lack of medical care, and what they describe as prolonged inaction by authorities and the international community.
Addressing the crisis, Gebrehiwot Gebregzabher, head of the Disaster Risk Management Commission, told Addis Standard earlier today that “Eighty percent of the IDP population across 146 camps in Tigray originates from Western Tigray,”
He said fuel shortages have significantly worsened the humanitarian response on the ground, limiting the distribution of available assistance.
In a joint appeal addressed to senior officials of the United Nations, major humanitarian agencies, and donor governments, the Global Society of Tigray Scholars and Professionals (#GSTS) said internally displaced people in Hitsats and other camps are “already dying from starvation, malnutrition, and preventable diseases.”
The Tigray Independence Party (#TIP) also issued a statement expressing its outrage over deaths caused by a “man-made famine,” particularly among IDPs displaced from Western Tigray and currently sheltering at the Hitsats camp.
Meanwhile, Tsilal Western Tigray Civil Society called on the Tigray Interim Administration to declare a state of emergency, resettle IDPs living in vulnerable conditions to safer locations, and establish a special task force to address humanitarian aid delivery challenges.

#TigrayCantWait
Aid delivery has been politicized, coordination has collapsed, transparency is absent,& internal power struggles have taken precedence over saving lives. This failure is not abstract, it is measured in preventable deaths.
