Ethiopia: MSF supports local healthcare facilities in Tigray

Since violence broke out in Tigray in northern Ethiopia in early November, some 60,000 people have taken refuge in Sudan and hundreds of thousands have been displaced.

Albert Viñas has been involved in almost 50 emergency responses with Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors without Borders (MSF) over 20 years. He has just returned from his sixth mission in Ethiopia, where his role was to prepare the way for medical teams to access areas of eastern and central Tigray and assist people affected by the current crisis. He describes what he found.
