The April 2022 edition of The Lancet published a comment titled "Saving Children from Man-made Acute Malnutrition in Tigray, Ethiopia: A Call to Action" by Afework Mulugeta and Mulugeta Gebregziabher.
The article states that thousands of civilians are facing man-made starvation and millions more acute food insecurity. The sharp increase in the prevalence of acute malnutrition and household food insecurity is a direct consequence of the humanitarian aid blockade and the destruction of food sources stemming from the civil war.
