was allowed to enter #Mekelle on 16 Dec & here is their account 👇

"no basic supplies. The local hospital was running at 30 to 40 %, with very little medication"

This is why one of the reason why we demand unfetters #HumanitarianCorridor
#TigrayGenocide

#Adigrat "The situation was very tense & its hospital was in a terrible condition. Most of the health staff had left, there were hardly any medicines &there was no food, no water and no money"

After 1 month since @AbiyAhmedAli declared victory

"#Adwa & #Axum. There we found a similar situation: no electricity & no water. All the medicines had been stolen from #Adwa general hospital & the hospital furniture & equipment were broken"

"Beyond the hospitals, around 80 or 90 per cent of the health centres that we visited between Mekele and Axum were not functional, either due to a lack of staff or because they had suffered robberies"

@UN @POTUS @StateDept
"1 woman had been in labour for 7 days without being able to give birth. Her life was saved because we were able to transport her to #Mekele"

It is really heartbreaking to imagine how many of our mothers & sister have lost their lives.

@UN
"There is a large population suffering, surely with fatal consequences. Adigrat hospital has a catchment area of more than 1 million people and the 1 in Axum has more than 3 million"

"we fear there will be epidemics soon"

"The impact of the violence is visible in the buildings & in the cars with bullet holes. Especially at the beginning, we saw a population locked in their homes & living in great fear"

This war was never a political one, it is a genocidal war to subjugate #Tigray #TigrayGenocide
"Everyone gave us pieces of paper with phone numbers written on them and asked us to convey messages to their families. People don’t even know if their relatives and loved ones are okay because in many places there are still no telephones or telecommunications"

#ReconnectTigray
"We still haven’t been able to go to many places, b/c access is still difficult, either because of insecurity or because it is hard to obtain authorization. But we know... that the situation in these places is VERY BAD"

@UN must demand unfettered #HumanitarianCorridor in #Tigray
"Now, almost 3 months after the start of the conflict... I am struck by how difficult it has been – and continues to be – to access such a needy population in such a densely populated area"

"Considering the means and capacity for analysis possessed by international organisations and the @UN , the fact that this is happening is a failure of the humanitarian world"

@antonioguterres you have failed millions in #Tigray

"We still don’t know the real impact of this crisis, but we have to keep working to find it out as soon as possible.”

I do hope that @UN will soon refer the case to the #UNSC & secure #HumanitarianCorridor & deploy @UNPeacekeeping
