There're about 1000 #Irob #IDPs in Mekelle & about 20,000 in Adigrat & Wurko. They’re farmers, most’ve never been this far away from their homes, they don’t know the system & language barriers added, most of them have been lost & remain helpless.1/ @UNOCHA @OCHA_Ethiopia @ICRC They've been living on the shoulders of relatives for 8 months.A family is hosting 5-10 IDPs since the war, making the already bad situation for families worse b/s there's not enough space nor supply for all of them in a given family. 2/ @WFP_Ethiopia @EthioRedCross @CARE @USAID

It has been almost two months since the Ethiopian Government declared war in Tigray. This war has been accompanied with the total communication blackout and closure of the region from the basic services like food, telephone, electricity, medicine, banks, internet, etc. 1/ The Irob district that is inhabited by the Irob people & located in the north east of the Tigray Regional State, bordering Eritrea, is believed to be one of the worst victims of the ongoing war. 3/
