Last month, the Associated Press published a report about the crisis in Tigray that the refugees suffer from.
The refugees who managed to survive after the drastic conflicts that hit the region are suffering from starvation for two months.
The earliest humanitarian workers who managed to access the camps described that children are dying from diarrhea after drinking water from rivers.
A lot of people told aid workers that they are hungry and they asked for “a single biscuit.”
More than 4.5 million people need emergency food, participants say.
A Tigray administrator warned that without aid, “hundreds of thousands might starve to death” and some already had, according to minutes obtained by The Associated Press.
