Humanitarian Crisis – February 20, 2021

1. As Ethiopia continues weaponizing aid, the @UNOCHA office has confirmed that if the international community doesn’t intervene, hundreds of thousands of people in #Tigray may die due to man-made famine. @SecBlinken @AmbMKimani @AOC @IlhanMN #TigrayGenocidehttps://www.ethiopia-insight.com/2021/02/18/the-looming-famine-in-tigray/

2. “…will the United Nations call out “famine” & if so when?” A question to ask @un @antonioguterres as reports reveal emaciated Tigrayans fleeing war-torn Tigray due to a government imposed famine. #TigrayGenocide #AllowAccessToTigray @GCR2P@UN_GP_RtoPhttps://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-55879681

3. Tigray appreciates U.S. stance & denunciation of #WarOnTigray BUT we urge @POTUS @SecBlinken to join EU & suspend aid to #Ethiopia until unhindered aid corridor is provided. #TigrayGenocide #AllowAccessToTigray @StateDept @LindaT_G @SamanthaJPowerhttps://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2021-02-18/u-s-leadership-can-end-the-crisis-in-ethiopia

4. “In all my years as an aid worker, I have rarely seen a humanitarian response so impeded and unable to deliver in response for so long, to so many with such pressing needs.” Humanitarian corridors remain closed in Tigray hindering lifesaving aid. @UNOCHA @hrw #TigrayGenocide

5. By providing money to a government that is intentionally blocking much needed humanitarian access to its own country, is allowing genocide to continue. @WorldBank @WorldBankAfrica @DavidMalpassWBG @AxelVT_WB @kanshul @ShaolinyangWBG @Mari_Pangestu @carmenmreinhart @SandieOkoro

6. A government that has inflicted humanitarian disaster to 4.5 million people by declaring #TigrayGenocide should NOT receive money from #IMF @WorldBank. @ShaolinyangWBG@carmenmreinhart @Mari_Pangestu @SandieOkoro @AntonellaBassa3 @jorgedajani @HafezGhanem_WB


1. A government that has inflicted humanitarian disaster to 4.5 million people by declaring #TigrayGenocide should NOT receive money from #IMF @WorldBank.  @ShaolinyangWBG @carmenmreinhart @Mari_Pangestu @SandieOkoro @AntonellaBassa3 @jorgedajani @HafezGhanem_WB

2. The aim of #IMF funds is to promote economic growth, financial stability, and reduce poverty in countries but NOT to fund an active #TigrayGenocide. @ShaolinyangWBG @carmenmreinhart @Mari_Pangestu @SandieOkoro @AntonellaBassa3 @jorgedajani @HafezGhanem_WB

3. It is clear that @WorldBank should NOT take part in #TigrayGenocide by funding the Ethiopian government.  @ShaolinyangWBG @carmenmreinhart @Mari_Pangestu @SandieOkoro @AntonellaBassa3 @jorgedajani @HafezGhanem_WB

4. Why would #IMF @WorldBank give money to a government that’s killing its own people?@DavidMalpassWBG @AxelVT_WB @kanshul @ShaolinyangWBG @Mari_Pangestu @carmenmreinhart @SandieOkoro @HafezGhanem_WB @Diop_WB @JingdongHua

5. By providing money to a government that is intentionally blocking much needed humanitarian access to its own country, is allowing genocide to continue. @WorldBank @WorldBankAfrica @DavidMalpassWBG @AxelVT_WB @kanshul @ShaolinyangWBG @Mari_Pangestu @carmenmreinhart @SandieOkoro


1. When @AbiyAhmedAli received 3 billion in aid from @WorldBank in 2019, he wrote, ”this reaffirms both govt. & donors’ partnership to transition Ethiopia to a prosperous & peaceful nation.” He has done the exact opposite in the last few years. #TigrayGenocide@DavidMalpassWBG

2. It’s likely @AbiyAhmedAli will not be able to pay back @WorldBank at the rate he’s going. Ethiopia’s economy is destined to fail. Please pay attention & stop funding his quest to secure the throne. @kanshula @AxelVT_WB @DavidMalpassWBG#TigrayGenocide https://www.hrw.org/news/2021/02/11/ethiopia-unlawful-shelling-tigray-urban-areas

3. The @WorldBank mission is “to reduce poverty, & improve living standards by promoting sustainable growth & investment in people.” All things @AbiyAhmedAli is working against in Ethiopia. Are you holding him accountable or choosing to fund #TigrayGenocide? @HafezGhanem_WB @hrw

4. When deciding to help with debt relief, leaders like @DavidMalpassWBG should hold other leaders accountable. Does the war waged on Tigray by @AbiyAhmedAli align w/ @WorldBank mission when death & destruction are involved? @AlbertZeufack #TigrayGenocide https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/emaciated-survivors-hint-worse-ethiopias-tigray-75802829

5. Not only should @AbiyAhmedAli be held responsible for war on Tigray & economic mismanagement, but @WorldBank as well. As you continue to provide financial support, you choose to have blood on your hands. @DavidMalpassWBG @kanshula @AxelVT_WB @WBPubs 

#TigrayGenocide

6. By 2017, Ethiopia had world’s fastest growing economy. In 2021, Ethiopia is still at war. How can @WorldBank continue to grant relief when @AbiyAhmedAli has set the country back? Stop funding the #TigrayGenocide! @HafezGhanem_WB @AxelVT_WB @ADixon_WB https://www.reuters.com/article/ethiopia-conflict-manufacturing-idUSKBN28J0LG

7. Ethiopia’s war risks leaving manufacturing dreams in tatters & as @WorldBank aids @AbiyAhmedAli, it plays an active role in economic incompetence. Funds will help aid a war to kill & destroy more infrastructures. @AlbertZeufack @KGeorgieva #TigrayGenocidehttps://www.reuters.com/article/ethiopia-conflict-manufacturing-idUSKBN28J0LG


1. Critical that @WorldBank understands that the Ethiopian govt. is still waging war on Tigray. There are an increase in rapes, killings of civilians, & humanitarian access denied to the region. Do not take part in funding the #TigrayGenocide.@DavidMalpassWBG @WorldBankAfrica

2. It is imperative that Ethiopia is blocked from using foreign aid to fund #TigrayGenocide. Many have been killed in the country due to this regime’s brutality. Debt relief from @WorldBank will only result in a prolonged war, death, & destruction. @Mari_Pangestu @carmenmreinhart

3. Reports have emerged highlighting the deteriorating situation in Tigray. Choosing to provide debt relief to Ethiopia will cause war to continue. Please do NOT provide aid to fund such cruelty on humanity. @WorldBank @kanshula @AxelVT_WB #TigrayGenocide https://www.forbes.com/sites/ewelinaochab/2021/02/16/mass-atrocities-including-the-use-of-rape-and-sexual-violence-in-the-tigray-region-of-ethiopia/

4. The humanitarian situation in #Tigray remains dire. “An assessment conducted by @UNICEF partners found prevalence of severe acute malnutrition, which is potentially life-threatening, was above emergency levels set by the @WHO.” #TigrayGenocide https://news.un.org/en/story/2021/02/1084542

5. “There is no area that is not affected by this conflict.” “The situation in Ethiopia is deteriorating every day and every minute.” said Ato Abera Tola, president of the Ethiopian Red Cross Society #TigrayGenocide@un @SecBlinken@antonioguterreshttps://www.pri.org/stories/2021-02-08/tigray-region-faces-deteriorating-crisis-three-months-conflict

6. Approximately 2 million Tigrayans are internally displaced & yet the Ethiopian govt. refuses to allow humanitarian access. If the int’l community also refuses to act now, they will be responsible for a larger catastrophe. #TigrayGenocide @GCR2P @UNOCHA https://www.sbs.com.au/news/disturbing-allegations-of-sexual-violence-emerge-in-ethiopia-s-conflict-hit-tigray-region

7. The president of the Ethiopian @RedCross reports that #Tigray|ans who manage to reach one of the few refugee camps in Tigray are emaciated. “You see their skin is really on their bones.” When will #UNSC intervene? #TigrayGenocide @GCR2P @UNReliefChief https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/2/10/red-cross-80-percent-of-ethiopias-tigray-cut-off-from-aid

8. Humanitarians have acknowledged for years that famines are man-made & that starvation is a crime, yet #Tigray famine is internationally ignored. The Int’l community must step up now! @PmTunisia @KenyaMissionUN @Niger_ONU @UNReliefChief #TigrayGenocide https://www.theeastafrican.co.ke/tea/rest-of-africa/aid-to-ethiopia-tigray-region-3279360

9. Ethiopia has BLOCKED aid access to #Tigray. A govt. that fails to protect its citizens by using both hunger & rape as a weapon, CANNOT be an ally to the West. Int’l leaders are morally obliged to protect innocent civilians. #TigrayGenocide @AmbMKimani https://www.theeastafrican.co.ke/tea/rest-of-africa/aid-to-ethiopia-tigray-region-3279360

10. The president of the Int’l Federation of Red Cross & Red Crescent reported that “only four hospitals out of 40 are operational in the region & are all facing major shortages in medical supplies..” #TigrayGenocide @Niger_ONU @KenyaMissionUN @PmTunisia https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/2/10/red-cross-80-percent-of-ethiopias-tigray-cut-off-from-aid


1. “The one thing we do know is that every additional day of waiting for help will only worsen children’s suffering.” Will #UNSC ever act & grant #HumanitarianCorridor access? #TigrayGenocide #AllowAccessToTigray @LindaT_G @POTUS @SecBlinken @UN @VPhttps://www.unicef.org/press-releases/12-weeks-conflict-deeply-troubling-situation-children-tigray

2. After three months of war, Tigray faces starvation. #Ethiopia’s government is blocking humanitarian relief to the region!#TigrayGenocide #AllowAccessToTigray@LindaT_G @POTUS @SecBlinken @UN @VP @IntlCrimCourt

3. All routes to Tigray have been deliberately closed for the last 3+ months. #WarOnTigray is tearing apart families. The plight of #Tigrayans is unimaginable. Unfettered #HumanitarianCorridor is critical. #TigrayGenocide #AllowAccessToTigray #UNSC @LindaT_Ghttps://t.co/RgkTr7Ku0i?amp=1

4. The ongoing #WarOnTigray created a huge humanitarian crisis in #Tigray. Aid agencies can’t even provide support, as the Ethiopian gov is refusing to open #HumanitarianCorridor. #UNSCActNow#TigrayGenocide #AllowAccessToTigrayhttps://voanews.com/africa/ethiopia-tigray/aid-efforts-ethiopias-tigray-thwarted-lack-access

5. Not only that children in #Tigray are suffering from hanger, trauma & malnutrition; they are set to lose their precious school years as long as the #WarOnTigray continues. #TigrayGenocide #AllowAccessToTigray@UNICEF @Europarl_EN @SecBlinken @UNhttps://news.un.org/en/story/2021/01/1083102

6. “Around 80 or 90 % of the health centers that we visited between Mekelle & Axum were not functional, either due to a lack of staff or because they had suffered robberies” #UNSCActNow #TigrayGenocide #AllowAccessToTigray@SecBlinken @POTUS @LindaT_Ghttps://msf.or.ke/en/magazine/ethiopia-if-seriously-ill-people-cant-get-hospital-you-can-imagine-consequences

7. Through the use of #TigrayGenocide, invaders forced people in western Tigray out of their homes to flee to Sudan & moved other groups into their homes. We need reparations and our people to be back in their homes. #AllowAccessToTigray @SecBlinken @UNDPPA @UN @LindaT_G

8. If a person in power uses their position to block all basic needs of a specific ethnic group, wouldn’t that amount to genocide? @LindaT_G #NeverAgain is possible if @SecBlinken & #UNSCActNow@POTUS @NorwayUN @franceonu @EstoniaUN #TigrayGenocide #AllowAccessToTigray

9. Oct 2020, China’s Gezhouba reps received a restriction to travel from Abiy’s admin when they were on their way to #Tigray to work on water supply project. #Abiy continues to deny access to clean water for Tigray.#TigrayGenocide #AllowAccessToTigrayhttps://addisstandard.com/analysis-crisis-staring-tigray-federal-governments-in-the-eye-as-army-is-caught-in-the-mix-relations-plummet-to-new-low/

11. It’s been 3 months since @AbiyAhmedAli waged war on #Tigray in cooperation with Eritrea’s dictator #Isaias. So far millions displaced, thousands perished & 4.5 million need urgent humanitarian aid.#TigrayGenocide #AllowAccessToTigray #EritreaOutOfTigray @SecBlinken @UN

12. We call for @UN full access to reach people in need wherever they are; safe passage for civilians seeking assistance; and the security of aid workers. #UNSC act NOW. #AllowAccessToTigray #TigrayGenocide #EritreaOutOfTigray@POTUS @VP @SecBlinken @SamanthaJPower @LindaT_G

13. .@UN must use Responsibility to Protect to defend civilians in Tigray & create a conducive environment for unfettered access to humanitarian aid to over 4.5 million people#AllowAccessToTigray #TigrayGenocide@SecBlinken @mbachelet @JosepBorrellF @JanezLenarcic @NRC_Egeland

14. “Lack of food, water and health services are affecting hundreds of thousands of people and our colleagues on the ground are reporting a rise in malnutrition and water-borne diseases” @JensLaerke#AllowAccessToTigray #TigrayGenocide @SecBlinken @LindaT_Ghttps://www.voanews.com/africa/un-slams-ethiopian-government-blocking-aid-conflict-ridden-tigray

17. Some 16 UN agencies and 25 NGOs have applied. But so far only provisions are being allowed through and are being stored in warehouses in Tigray’s capital city Mekelle.#UNSC Please act now & #AllowAccessToTigray#TigrayGenocide @UN @POTUS @LindaT_G @hrwhttps://euobserver.com/foreign/150791

18. “A spokesman for the @UN refugee agency said they had received reports that some of them were eating tree barks and drinking water from puddles after being forced to flee their camps” Independent investigation now@EU_Commission @StateDept#TigrayGenocide #AllowAccessToTigray

19. Unhindered #HumanitarianCorridor to the entire Tigray, food shouldn’t be used as a weapon. @UN’s aide should be delivered by humanitarian workers, not by the Ethiopian gov. #UNSCActNow @LindaT_G#TigrayGenocide #AllowAccessToTigray@UNHumanRights @antonioguterres @SecBlinken

20. If NOT granted #HumanitarianCorridor to the entire #Tigray immediately, history is going to repeat itself. #UNSC #AbiyAhmed with the same pattern of denying access to aid providers. @SecBlinken @LindaT_G @POTUS @VP#TigrayGenocide #AllowAccessToTigrayhttps://twitter.com/yaredinho_r9/status/1350533460524478464/video/1

3. The Tigray Crisis is one of the worst humanitarian crises in modern history. An ethnic region in a country is being held hostage w/out food, water nd basic necessities for 3 months. The Ethiopian gov is refusing to open #HumanitarianCorridor #TigrayCantWait #TigrayGenocide

4. “I have rarely seen a humanitarian response so impeded and unable to deliver in response for so long,” @NRC_Egeland. 3 months into the #WarOnTigray & “meaningful humanitarian operations” have yet to be initiated. #StopWarOnTigray #TigrayGenocide #Ethiopiahttps://www.nrc.no/news/2021/february/statement-on-tigray/

1. The @WFP reported that aid for Tigray is currently in Gondar, which is 291 km/181 miles away. Also, @FilippoGrandi pleaded for access to the humanitarian corridor. What is the plan to get the aid into Tigray? @UNReliefChief @DominicRaab @UNOCHA #StopWarOnTigray #TigrayGenocide

4. In 1980s, drought, conflict and government denial contributed to the famine in #Tigray, killing over 1 million people. History is repeating itself under @AbiyAhmedAli, who orchestrated #TigrayGenocide. We cannot let this happen in 2021. @WFP #BidenActNow. @JoeBiden @LindaT_G @UN

5. “It is a daily reality to hear people dying with the fighting consequences, lack of food,” a letter by the Catholic bishop of Adigrat, #Tigray said this month.

6. In a repeat of history, @AbiyAhmedAli is utilizing the same tactics Haile Selassie employed by denying basic food aid to #Tigray despite aid agencies begging to help. #BidenTakeAction to prevent starvation of “hundreds of thousands.” #TigrayGenocidehttps://apnews.com/article/ethiopia-united-nations-kenya-ef0b6b2db2994d4c3042cf19f3d92a2a

7. In northern Shire “up to 10% of the children whose arms were measured met the diagnostic criteria for severe acute malnutrition, with scores of children affected,” a UN source said. Emaciated children are ubiquitous in #Ethiopia’s state-sponsored #TigrayGenocide #BidenTakeAction

8. “The Conflict in Ethiopia remains far from over despite @AbiyAhmedAli’s claim,” @corybooker @toddyoungin those were your words. #Tigray|ans need assistance now. #bidentakeaction #tigraygenocide @ilhanMN @AOC @coribush @ablinken @lindat_g @joebiden https://www.booker.senate.gov/news/press/booker-young-joint-bipartisan-statement-regarding-the-conflict-in-ethiopia

9. Concern in lieu of action has brought no de-escalation of hostilities in #Ethiopia’s #WarOnTigray.

10. In #Tigray, there are “increased risks of malnutrition” due to food being either unavailable or ltd. in quantity as a result of the war. With supply lines & humanitarian access remaining cut-off, hunger is weaponized. #BidenTakeAction #TigrayGenocide @UN https://reliefweb.int/sites/reliefweb.int/files/resources/Situation%20Report%20-%20Ethiopia%20-%20Tigray%20Region%20Humanitarian%20Update%20-%2014%20Jan%202021.pdf

11. Over the last 73 days, the @UN has repeatedly called for unrestricted access to humanitarian aid in the #Tigray region. The ????????  govt has yet to grant access, violating international law, + leaving millions trapped w/o food, water, + medicine. #TigrayGenocide #BidenTakeAction

12. #BidenTakeAction #TigrayGenocide For 73 days, #Tigray has been a war zone + full-scale humanitarian crisis continues 2 unfold. Alarming reports of war crimes, yet many in the diaspora are still unable to reach their families due to comms blackout. @JoeBiden @SenKamalaHarris

13. The welfare of #Tigray|an Ethiopians is of grave concern, the @UN cautions 1.3 million require aid urgently. Currently, over 50,000 #Tigray|ans are seeking refuge in Sudan. The International community must act now @JoeBiden @KamalaHarris @SenateForeign #BidenTakeAction

14. @UN|s insecurity in pressuring the Ethiopian government to take action is possibly killing 4.5 million people in #Tigray. Unhindered humanitarian access must be granted asap. #StopWarOnTigray @IlhanMN @JoeNeguse @YohannesAbraham #BidenTakeAction #BidenActNow #TigrayGenocide

15. The @UN|s grave concerns for 3 months is taking 4.5 million people in #Tigray to the grave. They’re being starved, tortured, raped & killed. The world remains a bystander. #StopWarOnTigray #TigrayGenocide for 74 days! @JoeBiden @KamalaHarris @YohannesAbraham #BidenTakeAction

16. Humanitarian aid has been blocked to nearly half of the population in #Tigray for 3 months because the #Ethiopia|n government is weaponizing hunger. This is a clear violation of international laws. #TigrayGenocide #StopWarOnTigray No one is above the law. #BidenTakeAction

17. @UN officials have stated, “food supplies are very limited, widespread looting is reported and insecurity is high.” The situation in #Tigray is dire and federal aggression against Tigrayans must end. #BidenTakeAction #BidenActNow #TigrayGenocide @JoeBiden https://tinyurl.com/y56zgfeq
