Health centres have been attacked and starved of supplies during Ethiopia’s #Tigray conflict, and it’s hitting children and mothers hardest.
To save lives, UNICEF and partners need urgent, safe and sustained access.
Danke @ARTEInfo für diese unglaublich wichtige Dokumentation der Tatsachen in Tigray, wo momentan eine menschenverursachte humanitäre Katastrophe und Hungersnot herrscht, die in Deutschland kaum Aufmerksamkeit erhalten hat. Euer Beitrag scheint Lichts ins Dunkle. #TigrayGenocide
Conflict in #Ethiopia interrupted 5-year-old Melat’s education. Her family fled to #Sudan. She now goes to @NRC_EAY school along with 2,400 other children in Um Rakuba camp. Offering education to children forced to flee is a vital part of our mission. #WithRefugees
I’m not gay.
I’m not a senior.
I’m not from Tigray.
I never worried about my kids getting shot dead at school.
I’m not a refugee.
I don’t have a disability.
I’m not a woman.
But I defend everyone’s human rights.
Otherwise, how could I expect anyone to defend mine?
This is a tragedy - #Tigray's only referral hospital is at risk of shutting down due to lack of:
-fuel to run generators & ambulances
-basic medical supplies
-food, as even hospital staff are reportedly collapsing due to hunger

The Int'l community has abandoned the most vulnerable. Women were subjected to gang rape, sexual slavery, and sexual mutilation. We are ask that you amplify their voices on this #MothersDay2022. #Justice4TigrayWomen@rihanna@Oprah@violadavis https://t.co/0nwUi2F7VU
Over 500,000 people have died in the Ethiopian civil war.
Communication to Tigray has been cut off since Nov. 2020.
But, the world's attention is elsewhere.
Columbus Tigrayans are calling out for help for their loved ones.
My story for @DispatchAlerts:

Int’l relations researcher Meaza Gidey Gebremeadhin: “The worst humanitarian crisis is not happening in #Ukraine. It’s happening in #Tigray…” “…If we don’t do anything, there will be a time where the entire region of Tigray will be exterminated.” #TigrayGenocide@UBuffalo
The main hospital in Ethiopia's war-ravaged region of Tigray has sent home 240 patients after food supplies ran out last week, officials said. https://t.co/kyJLxqo4xe
1. In a lot of universities abroad there are Habesha Student Groups composed of Eritreans and Ethiopians. For some Tigrayans they might find these groups painful as many can be supportive of their regimes, it is important that we have Tigrayan student groups to support each other

.#Eritrea invaded #Tigray in November 2020 & with Ethiopian forces sealed off 7 million people from the world. A truce was called 3+ weeks ago, but only 69 humanitarian trucks, 4% of the needs, have been allowed in. Situation is dire. People are dying, the siege must end for real
