At least 56 civilians, including children and women, were killed and 30 others injured after Ethiopian jet fighters targeted a camp for displaced people in northwestern Tigray.
According to local sources, the deadly attack occurred in the town of Dedebit late Friday.
The Tigray War began on 3 November 2020 in the Tigray Region of Ethiopia. The local Tigray Defense Forces (TDF) are fighting the Ethiopian National Defense Force (ENDF), the Ethiopian Federal Police, regional police, and gendarmerie forces of the neighboring Amhara and Afar regions with the involvement of the Eritrean Defence Forces (EDF).
Numerous war crimes have been committed by the Ethiopian, Eritrean, and Amhara Regional forces during the Tigray War.
Many sources have accused the Ethiopian and Eritrean governments of engaging in crimes against humanity via ethnic cleansing of Tigrayans.
The Ethiopian and Eritrean governments have also been accused of genocide. The non-profit Genocide Watch classified the events as step 9 of genocide, eradication, as well as step 10, denial.
The Ethiopian government denied the allegations. (ILKHA)
