The latest attack follows a hit on a children’s play area on Friday that killed seven people, including women and children. An air raid has hit a neighbourhood near a hospital in the capital of Ethiopia’s northern Tigray region, said the head of another hospital which received casualties, less than a week after fighting shattered a four-month-old ceasefire. Kibrom Gebreselassie, chief executive of Ayder Referral Hospital, said on Twitter that an area near Mekelle General Hospital had been hit late on Tuesday. Getachew Reda, spokesman for the Tigray regional government, said on Twitter that at least three bombs had been dropped and that the Mekelle hospital was among the targets. Tigray has been without banking and telephone services since the federal military pulled out at the end of June.
