Ethiopia Tigray in Crisis

Vendors sell fruit and vegetables along a busy street in Mekele, Ethiopia on April 13, 2025. The suspension of USAID and cuts from other aid organisations have severely impacted Tigray, leaving displaced communities without adequate food or medicine. In camps like 70 Kare, wheat rations have dropped from 15 to 9 kilograms per person, with the last USAID delivery in December 2024. Since Trump’s election, medical costs have also surged, making basic treatments unaffordable for many families. Photo by Middle East Images/ABACAPRESS.COM
