Re #Tigray.
Only Russian soldiers can "go home."
The Ukrainian Defense Forces are at home. They fight to defend their homes, families, land.
When the "Both sides just need to stop the war" statement sounds, this is, in fact, a legitimization of annexation, when an aggressor is made equal with a victim.

We’re joined by an authority on ‘starvation crimes’ to understand why the weaponization of food during wartime continues, and why it’s difficult to prosecute.

The third recommendation is also complicated:
☑️Convene a donor conference to develop a new humanitarian response plan in a fully transparent way with input from local stakeholders that reflect groups who are in particular need of support.

The second recommendation is more complicated:
☑️Convene a second cessation of hostilities conference to negotiate the return of land stolen from displaced Tigrayans.
NOT a national dialogue. Everyone doesn't need to talk. This is about stolen land and illegal occupation.

5⃣ The same is true for medicine. There were only two IDP hosting sites (out of 675) reporting that medicine was available and affordable to IDPs. Chronic conditions or even common ones can be lethal without medicine.

4⃣ When IDPs are sick, they cannot get help. Access to medical care is improving at a glacial pace in Tigray. It is still largely inaccessible due to scarcity of resources, medicine, and basic equipment and supplies.

3⃣ Malaria and diarrhea are the greatest health fears for displaced people in Tigray, as well as malnutrition, persistent cough, skin infection, and cholera. These concerns are exacerbated by the lack of medicine and medical care.
