What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Ethiopian asylum seekers are arriving in Israel following the Tigray war, with some arriving in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. One report details a case where a woman, Luwam Habteab, applied for asylum in Tel Aviv after being detained by Ethiopian security forces for reporting on the Axum massacre, an event where Eritrean forces killed hundreds of civilians during the 2020-22 Tigray war. The report notes that the asylum system is broken and resettlement options are shrinking.
