Between November 2020 and November 2022, the Tigray region of northern Ethiopia was the site of one of the 21st century's deadliest conflicts. Hundreds of thousands of people were killed through direct violence, famine used as a weapon, and the collapse of medical services. This page is a dedication to their memory — and a commitment that the world will not forget what happened here.
