EEPA: Situation Report EEPA HORN No. 42

Reports of rape of Tigray women as part of the violence carried out on civilians in Tigray.

Aid agencies say that they are still largely unable to access the rest of Tigray. No communications, damaged infrastructure and government restrictions have stopped them from reaching most areas in Tigray. The Ethiopian government is still refusing full access.

The report noted that “crimes against humanity of this nature combined with the current national context are signs that the risk of atrocity crimes, including genocide, is increasing”. They call for investigation and “a lasting institutional solution.”
