MSF: People left with few healthcare options in Tigray as facilities looted, destroyed

Violence in Ethiopia’s Tigray region has extended to attacks on health facilities, with barely one in 10 functioning. Of the 106 health facilities MSF teams visited, one in five had been or was occupied by armed soldiers; one facility is being used as an army base.

The damaged, looted facilities and resulting lack of medical staff means people in the region have very little access to healthcare. MSF urges all armed groups in the area to respect medical facilities and for services to be restored as soon as possible.
