An air raid has struck a refugee camp in Ethiopia’s war-hit Tigray region, killing three Eritreans, including two children, the United Nations said. “I am deeply saddened to learn that three Eritrean refugees, two of them children, were killed,” UN High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi said in a statement, stressing that refugees “should never be a target”. "I am deeply saddened to learn that three Eritrean refugees, two of them children, were killed yesterday, in an airstrike that hit the Mai Aini refugee camp in northern Ethiopia." In September, Human Rights Watch said Eritrean soldiers – who joined the war on the side of Abiy’s forces – and Tigrayan fighters raped, detained and killed Eritrean refugees in Tigray, in attacks that amounted to “clear war crimes”. “This is despite repeated requests from WHO to provide medical supplies to the Tigray region,” he told a COVID-19 news conference.
