The two-year war in northern Ethiopia resulted in approximately 100,200 deaths before an African Union-brokered ceasefire was reached in November 2021, a new report reveals. In comparison, the Ukraine-Russia war that began in February led to 81,500 deaths, the same source added.

Yeah, it's a mix of factors which lead to this neglect. The Ukraine war is obviously extremely important, it's just a pity it sucks all the oxygen from the room when it comes to humanitarian responses.

I think Tigray got a lot more coverage from a) organizations interested in preventing genocide,

And b) organizations in countries with geopolitical strategic interests in the GERD issues.
