Health facilities in Ethiopia’s embattled region of Tigray have been “looted, vandalised and destroyed in a deliberate and widespread attack on health care”, the humanitarian group Doctors Without Borders said.

Nearly 70% of 106 health facilities surveyed from mid-December to early March had been looted and more than 30% had been damaged.
