The Tigray Bureau of Health has issued an emergency appeal: the region’s health system is approaching collapse. Fuel shortages, halted medical supply chains, and severe financial restrictions are crippling lifesaving services.
Fuel deliveries that normally reach ~15 million litres per month have dropped to almost nothing. Ambulances cannot operate. Medicines cannot reach hospitals. Humanitarian outreach is grinding to a halt.
Critical medicines are running out, including:
⭕️ IV fluids
⭕️ Life-saving antibiotics
⭕️ Anesthetics
⭕️ Pediatric medicines
⭕️ HIV treatment
⭕️ TB drugs
These are not optional supplies. They are the foundation of emergency care. If supply chains are not urgently restored, essential services will fail, including emergency surgery, maternal care, trauma treatment, and infection management.
Millions of civilians depend on the urgent restoration of fuel supply, medicines, and financial access to keep the health system functioning.
Immediate international attention and support are needed.
