Renewed Ethiopian fighting displaces thousands who lack food and health care

Renewed fighting in Ethiopia has displaced thousands of civilians, and aid groups have largely left many displacement camps after years of war and budget cuts. Residents are left without food or medical care. The WHO warned on Monday that renewed fighting between Tigray rebels and the government is pushing northern Ethiopia's health system toward collapse.

  • The fighting has shattered the 2022 peace deal, according to the report.
  • A US contractor admitted sharing classified documents with senior Ethiopian officials, which the report says were used to help kill Tigray fighters.
