Since August, there's been an escalation in airstrikes in Tigray.
The resumption of hostilities in northern Ethiopia heightens concerns about unlawful attacks and the grave threat posed to civilians.
HRW's @LaetitiaBader spoke to @BBCNews' Focus on Africa:
❝Current famine is worse than the 1984 famine. We are suffering and starving to death. Praying to God to make it better. Begging God to end this darkness❞desperate starved mothers from #Tigray#TigrayGenocide continues non-stop!

"The truth is that no-one really knows how bad this crisis is because hard data is difficult to obtain," BBC notes, which is true.
Also: Ethiopia's government has blocked IPC analyses (the intl process for determining famine) since 2021. https://t.co/O7kQ3wrwcF
We know @UN & @antonioguterres care only about MORE IMPORTANT humans, not about LESS IMPORTANT humans. You publicly denied Eritrean army invasion of #Tigray & approved #TigrayGenocide.
In #Tigray, 1 Million humans killed & 200K girls & women raped.
Why are the Tigrayans starving?
In this new article I and @BirhanG_ note some of the underlying causes of the ongoing famine in #Tigray. We also call on relevant actors to respond to the crisis before it's too late.

Another dark day for the FAO and the whole UN system.
The @NobelPrize award heralded genocide and destruction. This one heralds starvation and famine.
.@EvaUNICEF visited Ayder Hospital in #Tigray. Babies like 7-month-old Isana are being treated for SAM. After 8 days, her mum Kiros is so happy as she already sees an improvement, thanks to nutritional supplies provided by #UNICEF.

The RD @EvaUNICEF also visited a UNICEF-supported school for the visually impaired in #Tigray. The determination & resilience displayed by the students is an inspiration to us all. #SocialInclusion for all.

Tigrayans in Europe rally with powerful demands 📢
“Criminals must be held accountable, not granted power.”
“A criminal is a criminal, regardless of origin.”
“Those involved in diverting aid must be brought to justice.”
“Justice for Tigray.”
