Ethiopia: Update on the humanitarian situation and MSF response in Tigray

Since mid-December 2020, MSF teams have been providing medical care to some of the most affected people in need in the areas we’ve been able to access inside Tigray:  In southern Tigray, MSF teams ran mobile clinics and restarted some services at health centres in the towns of Hiwane and Adi Keyih, alongside staff from the Ministry of Health, until mid-January. Between 18 December and 17 January, MSF teams in Hiwane and Adi Keyih provided 1,498 medical consultations.   In eastern Tigray, MSF is supporting the hospital in Adigrat, the region’s second city. When an MSF team arrived in the city on 19 December, they found the hospital, which served a population of more than one million, had partially stopped functioning. Since 23 December, MSF medical teams have been running the hospital’s emergency room, as well as the medical, surgical, pediatric and maternity wards. They are also providing outpatient care for children under five.
