1. We continue to receive reports of the ever worsening conditions in large areas of #Irob that still remain violently occupied by the brutal & genocidal forces of #Eritrea. These areas have been completely sealed off from any access whatsoever from Nov 2020. #EritreaOutOfTigray

2. The access denial in these occupied areas of #Irob include humanitarian aid, medicine, media and all the basic necessities of life for ~2 years. The #Eitrean forces are keeping the remaining people there in 100% siege without the basic necessities, waiting for their perishing.@UN

3. These are the people, mostly children, women & elderly that still survived from the gruesome #IrobMassacre, enforced disappearance, forced displacements, ethnic cleansing, weaponized rape & starvation, war crimes & crimes against humanity at the hands of the occupying #Eritrean forces.

4. While the whole of #Tigray remains in siege & without the basic services, with only a trickle of aid that cannot be distributed b/c of lack of fuel & cash for humanitarian agencies, the occupied areas of Tigray are even worse by far. @HannaTetteh @MikeHammerUSA @EUSR_Weber @hrw

5. While the efforts for the peaceful resolution of the genocidal #WarOnTigray are welcome, it's imperative that the occupying forces of #Eritrea & #Amhara withdraw from #Tigray to gain access & save the people in addition to ending the siege & restoration of services in #Tigray.

3. All of #Tigray has been besieged by the genocidal forces for 600+ days, all the essential services cutoff & the humanitarian aid that trickled in recently could not be distributed b/c of the near total fuel blockade by the Eritrea|n regime. Remote areas like #Irob are most affected.

4. And yet, the occupied areas are even worse. They are still facing heinous war crimes at the hands of the invading #Eritrean or Amhara forces. In #Irob, the occupied areas are completely sealed off from the world with no access to comm., food, & medicine&⤵️ https://twitter.com/IrobAnina/status/1540409462107713536

1. For 19 months #Irob has been besieged by Eritrean forces. As it stands today, we estimate ~half of Irob remains occupied, without access to much-needed aid and no media reporting from the ground. The Irob continue to face an existential threat.#EndTigraySiege
