Dear Washington State TDA Supporters, Tegaru, and friends of the Tigray people,
The Tigray Development Association in North America has launched a global resource mobilization campaign to assist the people of Tigray impacted by the ongoing genocidal war.
The current state of Tigray is in dire need of humanitarian aid. With a population of close to 10 million, Tigray has been under a brutal military siege and total blockade of humanitarian assistance for the past couple of years.
According to reports by international aid organizations such as the UNHCR, 40% of the population is in the extreme stage of famine; almost 1/3 of children under the age of 5 are malnourished, and more than 120,000 women and underage girls were sexually assaulted by the Ethiopian National Defense Forces and neighboring Eritrean army, and due to the war in Tigray, a world record of over 5.1 million people are internally displaced. Tigrayans are in need of immediate support.
With a complete communication shutdown, closure of banks, and blockade of roads leading to the Tigray region by the federal government, international aid agencies are facing increased obstacles to accessing the desperate people in need of humanitarian aid. Under this brutal military siege and genocidal blockade of humanitarian assistance, the entire Tigray region has practically become the largest death camp in the world where thousands of people perish every day.
Your support is critical to our efforts to save lives. We appreciate the compassion you show by being a humanitarian champion for Tigrayans.
