@MeseretMedia I have also received information that in Addis around Kaliti, there was a death due to the typical symptoms of the disease last week, but no report has been issued...

@ZelenskyyUa @POTUS I am thinking of the difference of the meeting between Russians and him. What happen to American officials?

Joined a dissemination workshop of a baseline assessment of #HVoD in #Tigary. This aims at revitalization of efforts to address this killer disease. Its prevelance has increased due to interruption of health services b/ce of the war. It needes all rounded multidisciplinary intervention in prevention & treatment. We thank all institutions and researchers for such a follow up study and concrete recommendations. TBoH, THRI, TARI, TBoANR, Int Medical Corps @WHOEthiopia @FMoHealth @EPHIEthiopia @MekUniETH

@ProfMulugeta @DTM_IOM @AmstatNews @Ron_Wasserstein @PublicHealth @APHAPress This is a concerning situation, but let's continue to raise awareness and advocate for the release of this critical data. Every voice matters in ensuring the well-being of those affected in Tigray. Stay strong and keep pushing for transparency and accountability. #famine #Tigray.

As Ethiopia continues to face one of the worst droughts in recent history, millions of its people are suffering from acute hunger. @jack_s_hewson reports from the Tigray region.

2/2 It’s highly likely that 28.2/1000 is an underestimate. There are good reasons: 40% of the most war affected parts of Tigray are under occupation. But, the estimate is still significant since it shows how much #Tigray regressed from achieving SDG goal. @WHO @DrTedros @UNOCHA

[Mulugeta Gebregziabher, PhD @ProfMulugeta]

1/2 Someone raised a question about our paper (Adhana et al 2024) with regard to the neonatal mortality rate we reported for pre-war: 28.2/1000
Here are the facts from the literature:
- SDG goal <12/1000 by 2030
- EHDS 25.7/1000 in 2019
- TSA 20/1000 in 2020

Due to the conflict in #Tigray, #Ethiopia, Hanna could not get her contraceptive implant, which had been expired for more than a year, removed. After visiting our mobile health team in Shire, Hanna got the implant removed and now has access to reproductive health services.

#Ethiopia's #Tigray region ravaged by deadly famine

In the village of Atsbi in Tigray's east, 70-year-old Gebremariam Hagos is trying to collect what's left of the remaining grains from this year's extremely poor harvest.

"We spend our days looking for pieces of grain like birds," he told DW.

The father of five now lives alone in his family's house. The rest of his family, including his wife and children, have migrated to different parts of the region in an attempt to escape the crisis.

"This is a famine, we are starving," he says. "Some days I'm able to find something to eat. Other days I go to bed with an empty stomach. What can we do? Where can we go?"

Atsbi Wenberta District Administrator Mezgebe Girmay warns that the situation is quickly spiraling out of control.

"We have 97,000 residents in this district and some 82,000 are in an emergency situation," he said.

"We are in crisis here, people are dying in front of our eyes. Government and non-government agencies have to take responsibility and do what they can to alleviate the suffering."

#Ethiopia & #Eritrea are guilty of #TigrayGenocide

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

Yesterday’s @WHO mission to Nasser hospital — which is now minimally functional — was denied.

We’re deeply concerned about the safety of patients and health personnel due to the intensifying hostilities in the vicinity of the hospital.

We repeat: health MUST be protected at all times.

Ceasefire. #Gaza
