Over 7,000 people have disappeared from their homes in Amhara Regional State, a study shows. The study was undertaken from June to December in eight zones, 89 districts, and 945 kebeles of the Amhara Regional State, including Dessie, Waghimera, Oromia Special Zone, North Shewa, North and South Gondar, and North and South Wello. The Amhara Region War Affected Areas Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Fund Office (ARRFO), which started in July 2022, is working for recovery in the Amhara region, according to Abate Getahun (PhD), general manager at the office. Virtually all freed up areas of the Amhara region were included in the study, except Wolkait, where the study is ongoing, and districts and Kebeles, which are still under the invading forces. The Tigray forces damaged 31 hospitals, 1156 schools, five teacher colleges, three federal public universities, 3476 agricultural institutions, 850 industries, 1775 investments, and various scale business centers, enterprizes, and infrastructure.
