#Op_ed: Lives on Hold: Humanitarian crisis deepens amid stalled peace in #Tigray More than three years after the Pretoria Peace Agreement, Tigray reflects a fragile peace shaped by stalled implementation and a deepening humanitarian crisis, writes Gebremichael Negash. He notes, “The human cost of delayed implementation is no longer abstract; it is being counted in deaths.” Although active conflict has largely subsided, well over five million people still need emergency assistance, with nearly 891,000 displaced across 146 #IDP camps. At the same time, restrictions on cash, fuel, and aid continue to worsen conditions. The path forward, Gebremichael argues, is clear: restore services, ensure humanitarian access, and enable safe returns. “What remains is a choice: act now… or allow delay to deepen a crisis already measured in lives lost.” https://addisstandard.com/?p=56200
