UPDATE:
According to
@RefugeesMedia
,
#refugees
in the region have been cut off from food, water, and medicine.
The region was already facing famine conditions and the recent air strikes have worsened an already dire situation.
More must be done to help.
The starvation is not the result of drought or natural disaster. It is man-made. "To starve," in Tigray, is a transitive verb, and Ethiopia's leaders bear heavy responsibility.
We are deeply saddened by the loss of life during the recent airstrike in
#Tigray
, Ethiopia.
Civilians, including displaced people, should never be a target during conflict.
Read our full statement on this devastating news now:
#Ethiopia
is home to:
2 million newly displaced people
1 million internally displaced people
800,000 refugees
Over the last year 60,000 people—mostly from
#Tigray
—have fled the country.

Today, nearly a million people in Tigray, Ethiopia are experiencing famine conditions.
