I’ve a younger brother diagnosed with mitral valve stenosis in #Tigray. Due to lack of proper medical attention, his medical condition is deteriorating by the day. Ever-since the decision to resume flights to #Tigray came by, I was hoping to get him out of #Tigray. @flyethiopian
To that end, I bought a flight ticket for him. Despite having a medical certificate that would justify his trip, they couldn’t let him out. He missed his flight with no fault of his. I paid a sanction fee so he can try another day. @flyethiopian
Despite successive efforts to fly to Addis so he can seek proper medical attention, he was being denied. Putting aside the unreasonable high cost to extend the validity of the ticket, he lost hope and he doesn’t want to try anymore. @flyethiopian
