2. “In the largest hospital in Ethiopia’s Tigray region, a child wounded in an air strike bled to death after doctors ran out of gauze and intravenous fluids.

10. The @UN stated there is “a de facto blockade” with hundreds of thousands of people living in famine-like conditions, but has failed to help.

9. It’s a travesty of justice that the @IntlCrimCourt is failing to do what it claims it’s responsible for.

10. The @IntlCrimCourt must pressure the Ethiopian govt to stop war crimes. But instead, the #ICC remains silent as drone attacks on civilians intensify, and an already dire humanitarian crisis spirals out of control. #EndTigraySiege @WBHoekstra @MinPres https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/1/8/dozens-killed-in-ethiopian-air-strike-on-idp-camp-in-tigray
