Four people, including two children, were killed in an Ethiopian airstrike in the capital of the northern Tigray region, a hospital official said Friday. Gebreselassie said nine people had been injured in the strike which hit a children's playground in the city. "Civilians are dead and injured" and a rescue operation was under way, Kindeya Gebrehiwot told AFP. The fighting has killed thousands of civilians and displaced millions of people, with half of the Tigray region facing severe food shortages. Additionally, most of the people living in Tigray have had no access to telephone or internet services for over a year.
