Dozens are seeking abortions, medical care and psychological support in overwhelmed hospitals, many of which have been destroyed.....Thousands more are thought to be suffering in silence as they fear reprisals by security forces and rejection from their families
One video, which was widely circulated on social media and has been verified by the Telegraph, shows a surgeon in Adigrat hospital removing long nails and pieces of plastic from the vagina of one woman after she was raped and tortured.

Google earth has finally updated its satellite imagery for western Tigray and it’s really bad. Satellite imagery shows that many settlements have been razed to the ground, some repeatedly being burned. This will be a thread covering those burnings. H/t @FijianArmadillo
I’m going to be going through these as I find them. Which is a lot. Virtually every settlement I have found has been affected in some form. Will be starting with what @FijianArmadillo found first. I’ll transition to just screenshots after.
The first location is 13.829500711851056, 36.5104337794971. This village along the road was largely razed to the ground by November 22.

"Ever since I started research in Tigray in 1994, the fight against famine has been a major priority. With academic colleagues, we tried to assist through studies and projects for environmental conservation. But now, it feels as though we are back to square one" he says
From February to May 2021, more than half of Tigray’s territory is expected to suffer “Emergency” outcomes by the U.S.’s Famine Early Warning System Network—the last stage before “Famine.
