Al Jazeera: Renewed Tigray fighting strands displaced families, strains health services

Briefing by News4U · First published

Al Jazeera reports that renewed fighting since September 22, 2026, has dashed hopes of return for families displaced from Western Tigray, leaving them in overcrowded shelters in Abi Adi with shortages of food, water and medicine. Hospitals in Mekelle also lack essential drugs, forcing patients to buy medicines privately. On November 5, Ethiopia’s National Rehabilitation Commission said 5,500 former Tigrayan fighters began rehabilitation training in Mekelle. [1]
