A report detailed the severe strain on the health system in the Tigray Region of Ethiopia following the breakdown of a 2022 peace agreement. The report recounted accounts from a surgeon in Mekelle, who treated numerous war trauma patients during a period when network and electricity were cut off. The surgeon was granted anonymity due to fears of repercussions for treating rebel fighters.
