Ethiopia: People are traumatized
Maria Lozano and Fionn Shiner
Hundreds lie dead in Ethiopia's war-torn Tigray region according to a secret inside account, which described priests beaten up, churches ransacked, and "rampant" hunger and fear gripping the populace who have no medicine left.
Speaking to Aid to the Church in Need (ACN), the priest, unnamed for security reasons, described the effects of a conflict ongoing since November 2020 between the government and the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF).
He said: "There is still devastating war going on in almost the whole of the Tigray region... I don't have the words to describe their suffering - there is great despair and the people are traumatised."
The result of the conflict is that "there is rampant hunger and fear", according to ACN's source.
