In the aftermath of a brutal two-year war that has scarred the Tigray region, Shewit and her sisters, who reside in a rented one-bedroom house, stand as a testament to resilience amidst despair. Students in the Tigray region are among the hardest hit by the drought. According to him, among the 23,000 students enrolled at 46 elementary and secondary schools in the district, 4,449 have dropped out. This adjustment is necessitated by the impracticability of accommodating students beyond the 5th grade due to such constraints. According to these experts, an additional 522 schools in the region remain under the control of Eritrean and Amhara forces, rendering them inaccessible to students in the region.
