Government troops have seized the northern Tigray town of Alamata and are advancing toward Mekelle, with at least 52 civilians killed in three days of heavy fighting. Médecins Sans Frontières reports over 700 wounded admitted to hospitals in the region, while banking and internet services remain suspended.
Fighting Escalates Around Alamata
Government forces have taken control of Alamata from regional fighters and are pushing north toward Mekelle, the capital of Tigray. The clashes, which began last week, involve the army and an Amhara militia allied with Tigrayan fighters, who earlier formed a seven-member alliance aimed at removing the federal government in Addis Ababa.
The Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) says it was responding to a federal offensive including drone strikes, while the government claims Tigrayan forces attacked first after seizing regional airports. A medic at Alamata General Hospital told the BBC that heavy explosives and artillery landed in residential homes, killing 12 people in a single strike on the marketplace.
Humanitarian Crisis Deepens in Tigray
Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has reported that more than 700 wounded people have been admitted to hospitals it supports in Tigray over the last few days. A doctor at Alamata General Hospital said those killed included children as young as three days old, mothers and cattle herders, as the town swelled with displaced residents fleeing the fighting.
Since the conflict erupted, banking services in Tigray have been suspended and internet access cut, leaving people unable to transfer money or communicate. A former Mekelle resident living in Addis Ababa said mobile transfers failed, adding that the clampdown has created havoc for Tigrayans outside the region whose accounts have been frozen or restricted.
Tourists Stranded in Lalibela Amid Regional Tensions
Thirty-three tourists have been stranded for the last week in Lalibela, a UNESCO world heritage site in the Amhara region, after the airport was closed to commercial flights. When the closure began, 53 tourists were in the town, but some have since been evacuated, including 14 Israelis by military helicopter on Monday and five others via an NGO convoy.
A British tourist told the BBC that while online banking was working, there was a shortage of physical cash and that the military presence remained heavy. He said the situation had calmed in the last two days and the airport might reopen on Thursday, though locals remain fearful of further escalation.
