In #Ethiopia, 6 million people in #Tigray have been under blockade by Ethiopian & Eritrean forces for almost 500 days. 83% of the population is food insecure. There is almost no fuel, cash or communications. The situation is catastrophic. People are dying.
To the women of Tigray who have endured so much in 16 months - a genocidal war, mass slaughter, mass starvation and mass rape.
They will pull through as they have done throughout history. They will survive and they will heal Tigray again.
