MSF teams have been providing medical care to some of the affected people in Tigray since mid-December. Between December 18 and January 3, MSF teams in Hiwane and Adi Keyih provided 1,498 medical consultations. In eastern Tigray, MSF is supporting the hospital in Adigrat, the region’s second city. Since December 23, MSF medical teams have been running the hospital’s emergency room, as well as the medical, surgical, pediatric, and maternity wards.
