ETHIOPIAN WOMEN DONATE FOOD AND BLOOD IN SUPPORT OF DEFENSE FORCES

Women from Addis Ababa gather to provide food and other items for the Ethiopian National Defense Force, also donating blood for soldiers injured in the war. Tigray forces launched a recent offensive to press Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed to step aside and lift a deadly months-long blockade which has cut off food, medicine and other aid from the region of around six million people and left hundreds of thousands of people facing famine. The ongoing war has led to thousands of deaths and injuries, especially among the frontline personnel.
