#Venezuela | #Switzerland calls for de-escalation, restraint, and respect for international law, including the prohibition of the use of force and the principle of respect for territorial integrity.
The situation is being closely monitored by our embassy on the ground. At this stage and according to our information, no Swiss nationals have been affected.

Shutting it down will be a terrible loss.

Eritrean and Ethiopian forces carpet bombing #Tigray cities almost daily. Civilians are being killed and the wounded that could have been saved are dying due to lack of treatment and urgently needed care. The siege must end and humanitarian aid allowed in.
