After 2 years of war, the #Tigray region in #Ethiopia is recovering slowly.
People are traumatized but also hopeful.
A thread with pictures from my latest trip.
In #Adigrat people live in an IDP camp in a secondary school. A mother with 5 children sleeps on a blackboard (left), covered with plastic sheets. Nights in mountaineous Tigray can be cold.
The family can not return home. «There are still militia at our village», the mother says.
Here people have at least drinking water. They complain that food aid still hasn't reached them for months. During the war, over one million people have been displaced.
