Heartbreaking scenes from #Tigray. Hunger and starvation continues to ravish the region and due to the war, there is barely any electricity to tell the rest of the world about their plight.
The #UNSC is meeting on #Tigray tomorrow. Please join us as we demand #UNSCActNow towards an immediate ceasefire & the @UN act on its commitment on ‘Responsibility to Protect’ #R2P to #SaveTigray.
8:30am at #UN headquarters, 1st Avenue & 43rd St.

“As the veil lifts on the atrocities in Western Tigray, the Ethiopian government and international bodies need to stop the abuses and put an end to impunity.” https://t.co/HmA5xvLAiO
In a documentary by @ARTEen on #Tigray, a hospital has ran out milk to give a starving child. For >2 weeks, the staff has been supporting the child with just oxygen and meds while they and his mother watch him starve. #StopTigrayFamine@unicefchief
Internally Displaced People (IDPs) in #Tigay are particularly vulnerable to starvation as international aid agencies haven't provided the needed assistance due to a goods blockade by the govt of #Ethiopia. #StopTigrayFamine @USAIDSCharles @PowerUSAID

Children are intentionally being starved in Tigray while the region remains under siege. @POTUS – it’s critical that action is taken before it’s too late.
All telecommunications, internet & electricity must be restored.
Nothing changes until Tigray blockade is lifted.
Nothing changes in Ethiopia unless Tigray blockade is completely lifted, Eritrea compelled to stop meddling, humanitarian access fully restored.
The momentum that now exists has a very short shelf life. Do something with it or risk return to full-scale war.
28 civilians including a 7 year old girl were killed, and about 78 injured by drone attacks in Alamata, Tigray. The UAE, Turkey and China must stop placing economic interests above respect for human rights. #StopDroneAttacks@EUSR_Weber@vonderleyen https://t.co/WBZ7u5vEgX
It’s essential no fly zone and an arms embargo are placed to prevent more drones from killing civilians.
Action needs to be taken to help save the lives of millions of Tigrayans from further bombardment and famine, including those most impacted, women and children. #Tigray
1/3 there was a drone attack at the Mekelle power substation, damaging it & killing civilians.Those drones & amunations, attacking Tigray everyday, are coming fron #UAE, #Turkey, #China & #Iran.
The communication blackout in Tigray is a tool to conceal war crimes by @PMEthiopia and Eritrea’s Isaias Afwerki. Are world leaders complicit with these crimes? #ReconnectTigray@IntlCrimCourt needs to make take swift action.
The @UN_HRC decided today to investigate atrocities in Tigray independently.
& For the second consecutive day, #Eth bombed a market in the #Tigrayan City of Alamata, killing and injuring civilians.
Civilians including Children, and the elderly are dying and suffering.
#Ethiopia: The UN Human Rights Council decided today it will investigate atrocities in Ethiopia.
The decision offers hope to victims, and it indicates to all parties to the #Tigray conflict that human rights abuses will no longer be tolerated.
For over a year, Tigrayans have been pleading for an end to the communication blackout. The siege is taking innocent lives. Access to phone lines, internet and power must be completely restored. #ReconnectTigray@SecBlinken@LindaT_G@WFPChief@StateDept https://t.co/8GchyEL9Ij
