‘Humanitarian crime’: fighting cuts off insulin supply in Tigray

International Diabetic Federation decries reports ongoing war has led to shortages of life-saving drug at Ethiopian region's biggest hospital

Doctors at the biggest hospital in Tigray say they have just days supply left of insulin, as the resumption of fighting between rebels and Ethiopian government troops once again cuts off supplies to the region.

In what the head of the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) has branded a humanitarian crime," medics at Ayder specialist referral hospital warn they have already run out of one kind of the life-saving medicine and have only a week's supply of another.
