What do you all think this mean?

Almost all hospitals in #Tigray were damaged or had their equipment looted. Now the 30% of them that have been rehabilitated are still struggling to get by, two years after the war, because of lack of government support. Help has to come from (inter)national NGOs and the diaspora.

Lonely graves, scattered bones: the stark reality of one of the most overlooked and fastest-growing migration routes Thousands of desperate migrants die in the desert and at sea, or fall victim to murderers and kidnappers, as they make their way along the ‘eastern corridor’ from Ethiopia to Saudi Arabia
