Day 140 since @WFP and @USAID suspended food aid to #Tigray.
A month later, they cut nutrition services for children.
Now genocide survivors are being starved to death with their children in their homes. #ResumeAid4Tigray

If you visit Ethiopia, you must stop in #Tigray.
If you visit Tigray, you must visit the #Gheralta mountains just outside of #Hawzen.
It is worth every moment.
For years I dreamed about seeing these mountains.
This week it became a reality.
The most beautiful place I’ve ever been.

Everything reported in this segment is supported by the IOM-DTM dataset. Things are so bad for IDPs in the Eastern zone of #Tigray that they are abandoning hosting sites.
@UNOCHA calls this a "spontaneous return" which is a deliberate lie to hide the failure of aid agencies.

I trust that you now comprehend the precarious situation the people of #Tigray find themselves in. Every human being has the inherent right to life. #Justice4Tigray
A chillingly read.
" To their mothers, these children are also constant reminders of the crime committed on them. The perpetrators of the crimes didn’t account for their crimes and no credible process for doing this is not yet in place."

Brother Mulugeta wrote this compelling contrast between the #Tigray many of us would like to believe and the reality on the ground.
Important context❗️
Quote:
Again, if you were to go in the early evening to visit what they call Hayahulet, an area named after a place in Addis Ababa with the highest concentration of bars and nightclubs, you would observe the verandas of the bars full of guests drinking beer and would definitely feel that the dark days of the city are over long ago.
This impression is created not only because of the contrast between what you may have heard and what you immediately see but also because of deliberate effort by the authorities in Addis Ababa and Mekelle to create an atmosphere of normalcy in the city. Every little bit of support to the region is reported in the news media. You will hear and see news stories about a few hundred dollars’ worth of food served to homeless displaced people; a total of approximately US$ 13 million donated from the regions for the reconstruction of Tigray; and the donation of used furniture donated to build the capacity of institutions destroyed by war by Addis Ababa city administration among other things. You will hear reports of workshops held to reconstruct Tigrai and/or rehabilitate civilians each time you switch on your TV and radio among. By contrast, the suffering of the people rarely comes to the media.
The reality is that Mekelle is a long way from normalcy.

Amid ongoing human rights abuses in #Tigray, a thorough, independent & on the ground investigation is needed for the purpose of documentation & the possibility of justice & accountability. We urge @UN_HRC to support the renewal of the ICHREE’s mandate this Sept. #Justice4Tigray
“I would like to say, as a female FM, no, it is not normal that rapes are part of wars”
-@ABaerbock
The FM's remark will have an impact only when the IC stands for justice & sexual violence victims get the justice they deserve.

The horrible realities of rape-in-war are that are built into the structure and tactics of warmaking: not just in #Sudan but also #Tigray & elsewhere. With total impunity https://t.co/7rCAhos34z via @AJEnglish
Urgent appeal from the people of Irob: we are dying of hunger
Amhara controlled many states of #Tigray and continued to massacre, kidnap and prevent humanitarian aid from reaching people
Irob is one of the states in Tigray occupied by invading forces

Many Tigrayans remain detained for their identity, some dying while detained due to a lack of food and water in unofficial and official detention sites. The location of countless Tigrayan fighters and POWs remains unknown months after the #CoHA agreement. #Justice4Tigray
