ADDIS ABABA-The National Disaster Risk Management Commission (NDRMC) called on all stakeholders to make a speedy humanitarian response to address people that have been affected by the terrorist TPLF belligerence in the Afar State.
Commission’s Public Relations Head Debebe Zewede told local media, TPLF forces committed crime against humanity in Afar and over 350,000 civilians have been displaced from home due to the criminal factions’ second-round raid in the area. People that have been sheltered in refugee camps are in dire humanitarian situations and require a hasty response.
“Though the Commission has made commendable efforts to reach the needy and provide them the support on a regular basis, the provision is very limited and the refugee camps are in a deplorable situation concerning amenities. Accordingly, all concerned bodies are expected to render the much-desired food and non-food items to the displaced.”
Recently, a nurse and advocate in Afar State, Valerie Browning, said that “The terrorist TPLF continues using heavy artillery and mechanical warfare to annihilate Afar innocent people and destruct huge property as the area is a big step to control the strategic avenues. Simply, it shows that the terrorist TPLF continues its crimes as it is counting or makes upping revenge for its initial defeat in Afar.”
The group continues killing innocent citizens, displacing massive people, gang raping, and looting and destroying private and public property in Afar whilst this nature was continued in Amhara State in the invaded, Browning elaborated.
