The head of the emergency unite for Doctors without Borders Mari Carmen Vinoles underscored, “There is an extreme urgent need — I don’t know what more words in English to use — to rapidly scale up the humanitarian response because the population is dying every day as we speak.”In the same context, the Catholic bishop of Adigrata described in a letter, “It is a daily reality to hear people dying with the fighting consequences, lack of food.” In markets, food is “not available or extremely limited,” the United Nations says. Also, it was reported that hunger is very concerning and even water is scarce as there are only two of 21 wells still work in Adigrat, that’s why people drink directly from rivers causing them disease.
