Media reports have even described near-famine conditions in Tigray and Amhara. Disease outbreaks are spreading rapidly in northern Ethiopia due to the ongoing conflict, drought, economic shocks, and malnutrition. These conditions are particularly severe in the Tigray and Amhara regions. Between August 2022 and December 2023, over 30,000 cases of cholera were reported, highlighting the magnitude of the crisis.”
