Refugees in Ethiopian Tigray Suffer Starvation

On Sunday, a report posted by US News and World Report, issued originally by the Associated Press, that the refugees in the Ethiopian Tigray are suffering from starvation

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.

The head of the emergency unit for Doctors without Borders Mari Carmen Vinoles underscored, "There is an extreme urgent need — I don’t know what more words in English to use — to rapidly scale up the humanitarian response because the population is dying every day as we speak."

In the same context, the Catholic bishop of Adigrata described in a letter, "It is a daily reality to hear people dying with the fighting consequences, lack of food.” In markets, food is “not available or extremely limited,” the United Nations says.

Also, it was reported that hunger is a concerning issue and even water is scarce as there are only two of 21 wells still work in Adigrat, that's why people drink directly from rivers causing them disease.

Catholic Relief Services representative in Ethiopia John Shumlansky highlighted that The next few months are critical as the three-month food supply that people in Tigray were given could end soon.
