Ethiopia declares an 'indefinite humanitarian truce' to allow aid into

on Mar 24, 2022. Sadly, only 20 aid trucks entered

The

report states “during the first ten days of the government offensives in Western Tigray, after the conflict broke out in November 2020, Ethiopian federal defense forces together with Amhara forces committed war crimes against Tigrayan communities throughout the zone.”
“Eritreans have continued to be present in certain towns in
#WesternTigray
and have carried out abuses, including looting of civilian property, arbitrary arrests, and sexual violence against the Tigrayan population”
@hrw
states in their most recent report on
@AfricanUnionUN
Tigray is facing mass starvation induced by the genocidal war taking place. 3 mill children are starving to death. A whole region is in darkness, disconnected from the outside world.

To boost agri-productivity fertilizers, improved seeds & pesticides play a critical role. However,
#Tigray
| farmers who constitute 85% of the population, and depend on subsistence farming are not able to access those inputs.

The Ethiopian authorities’ detention of thousands of Tigrayan deportees from Saudi Arabia without informing their families of their arrest or whereabouts amounts to enforced disappearance, which violates international law.

Medical supplies have been delivered to Tigray—the first since July 2021.
@WHO
says it's not enough to restock the depleted health system. Restricted humanitarian access compounded by lack of fuel means those in rural areas wont have access to aid.

The Tigray Regional Health Bureau showed that 7.3% of the women and girls who have been raped have been diagnosed with various sexually transmitted infections and 5% have been infected with HIV.

@HealthFdn
The Bureau of Social Affairs has said half the population of Tigray will die by the end of the month if humanitarian aid isn't permitted into the region. The ongoing siege will claim the lives of millions.

@antonioguterres
has yet to react to the Tigray govt's plea for genuine peace and
#EndTigraySiege
. Guterres has both the mandate and the moral responsibility to protect genocide victims. The suffering of
#Tigrayans
is being ignored.
Amhara militias also 'banned the Tigrayan language, confiscated the personal documents of Tigrayans, looted their food and property,' blocked humanitarian aid & health care, and arrested & tortured many'

Invading forces have systematically raped women + girls; plundered Tigray’s wealth; murdered innocent civilians; used hunger as a weapon of war to bring Tigrayans to their knees and vandalized service-providing infrastructure.

Ethiopian government forces are actively and intentionally preventing food aid and medicine from reaching Tigray.
@AbiyAhmedAli
's call for a humanitarian truce must be closely monitored to ensure much needed aid is able to reach Tigray.

Ethiopia is one of the top 3 aid recipients of the UK. In 2021, it was noted they received £300m in aid.

@vickyford
IDPs with special needs who fled the ethnic cleansing campaign in western Tigray by Amahara forces and militias suffer from a lack of medicines and food.
“People with special needs require special attention, even in times of conflicts.”
37 years later, are we still the World? Please pay attention to what is happening in Tigray. Its people are systematically starved, brutalized & humiliated.
@U2
, please lend your voice in support of our families.

The Int community has displayed their condemnation towards Russia, in light of the devastation in
#Ukraine
- while aiding and endorsing the genocidal regime in
#Ethiopia
. The selective outrage is leaving the Tigrayan people stuck in a genocidal war.

No one chooses where they are born or what ethnicity they are. Yet Tigray’s children are once again, 37 years later, being punished for the grievances & political aims of others. They are starving and they need our help.

De laatste 20 jaar had Ethiopie een bloeiende economie. Maar nu gaat het land andersom want alle middelen gaan naar de oorlog. Dit kan grote gevolgen hebben op Europa door toename van vluchtelingen.

No food, no healthcare, no supplies. The people of Tigray are being collectively punished by those who wish to ‘put them in their place’. We call on the govts. of Ethiopia and Eritrea to end their 21st century Holodomor on Tigray!
