Collapse of Health Care in Ethiopia's Tigray Region

 Ethiopia Insight posted on 24 February 2021 a commentary titled "The Health Crisis in Ethiopia's War-ravaged Tigray" by Fisaha Tesfay, Deakin University, and Hailay Gesesew, Flinders University in Australia.

Drawing on reports released by UNICEF, WHO, and Medecines sans Frontieres, the authors conclude that 85-90 percent of health centers and hospitals in Tigray Region are no longer functional because of destruction and looting due to war.
