According to a surgeon at the primary hospital in the Tigray region's capital, Ethiopia, the 23-month civil war has caused patients to die needlessly due to a lack of medications and treatments.

Since November 2020, Tigrayan forces have been engaged in combat with Ethiopian federal forces and their allies. For the majority of the conflict, Tigray has been cut off.
Thanks to the World Health Organization and the International Committee of the Red Cross, some medications have reached the affected areas, but the distribution has been patchy, according to Dr. Fasika.
A lack of insulin is killing diabetic patients, he continued, and renal sufferers may potentially perish if dialysis cannot be continued.
Dr. Fasika also claims that the hospital staff has not received pay in 17 months.
It's difficult right now to save those who can be spared, he said, "but we are attempting to save those who we can."
