A relative traveled from #Adwa to #Mekelle today. He told my family that many people are dying from starvation.

As banks don't work, people cannot withdraw their money and save their lives and those with some grain need to line up for up to two weeks to have it milled. 1/4

There're few mills running on diesel.

Some families are desperately trying to send food from #Mekelle and other parts with access to cash. However:
1. They're impoverished and without income themselves.
2. It costs 500 birr to transport a quintal, Ex, from #Mekelle to #Adwa

3. It is risky. Friends in #Mekelle know of confiscated money and food destined to needy families, particularly in areas manned by savage #Eritrean soldiers.

The situation is catastrophic.

#AbiyAhmed is killing my people in masses by denying humanitarian relief.

It's unimaginable an active extermination of people is taking place while the int'l community watches idly by.

Graphic images of scattered corpses & emaciated children might have attracted some attention.

However, the regime made certain that this is not even a possibility.

To begin with, there can only be a few people with functioning phones after #73days without electricity.

Further, I am told that in the over 20 checkpoints installed between #Adwa and #Mekelle alone, a thorough search makes it impossible even to try it.

Stop #TigrayGenocide

Please reverse the terrible blunder @AsstSecStateAF and @SecPompeo committed on z matter that we think effectively enabled the ongoing catastrophe.
