Strikes on camp in Ethiopia kill at least 15: Reuters
The attack injured 22 others and set more than 20 shelters on fire, leaving displaced families without shelter, food and medical care, residents said.
- On Thursday, multiple drone strikes hit the Hayiq Jari 2 Turk IDP camp in Ethiopia's Amhara region, killing 14 civilians. The camp, situated 400 km northeast of Addis Ababa, provides refuge to people who fled previous violence.
- The Ethiopian government has used its drone fleet to gain strategic advantage against rebel alliances in Amhara and Tigray over the past month. Ongoing clashes intensified despite a recent lull in heavy combat.
- Witnesses reported at least five strikes at 15-minute intervals while residents sheltered inside. The attack injured 36 people, transported to Hayiq Hospital and Dessie Hospital for medical treatment.
- More than 20 household shelters burned during the attack, leaving survivors without emergency shelter or belongings. Displaced families now face worsening humanitarian conditions while sheltering in a local school and struggling to access food and medicine.
- Experts warn interconnected conflicts in the Horn of Africa could trigger broader regional instability. A spokesperson for Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed did not immediately respond to requests for comment regarding the incident.
