Join us for an urgent hybrid event focused on the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Tigray, Ethiopia, which has claimed at least 600,000 civilian lives since November 2020, according to the African Union. This session will feature frontline healthcare professionals and eyewitnesses to atrocities, providing firsthand insights into the ongoing suffering and the absence of justice for the victims.
The discussion will address:
