Photo by lynseyaddario / Internally displaced Ethiopians live in makeshift conditions in the Maiweini Elementary School in Mekele. Most were displaced last month from the Tigray region, where a grave humanitarian crisis is unfolding. As civil war escalates, millions have been displaced, thousands killed, and reports of human rights violations and atrocities are rampant—including mass rapes, executions, the intentional bombardment of civilians, and the flagrant looting of hospitals and clinics. As Mussie Tesfay Atsbaha, the Ayder hospital’s chief administrator in Tigray's capital of Mekele, told us, “I never saw hell before but now I have.” The United Nations has called for an investigation of war crimes, and the United States has cut economic and security aid to Ethiopia and banned travel to the U.S. by officials involved in the violence or in blocking humanitarian aid. #ethiopia #tigray #LynseyAddario Check out Nat Geo's link in bio for more on this story.
