A fresh wave of fighting erupted last week in Debark, the seat of the northern Gondar zone, as well as in Dabat and Amba Giorgis. Although the situation had been relatively calm until today, gunfire was reported in several parts of Gondar town on Tuesday. BBC Amharic, citing a resident of Debark, reported that the town faced heavy shelling on Monday, leaving “many civilians injured in the fighting.” A medical staff member described the town as enduring a constant barrage of gunfire throughout the day. Over 20 people were injured and admitted to the hospital on Monday. He also noted that additional injured individuals were being transported to the hospital on Tuesday, where two of them died upon arrival. The medical staff reported that many of the injured did not make it to the hospital and died before they could receive treatment.
