Ethiopia's Tigray region is experiencing an outbreak of deadly diseases in children after vaccination rates plummeted during the civil war that erupted nearly two years ago.
such as measles, tetanus and whooping cough are on the rise in Ethiopia's Tigray region after vaccination rates plunged during the civil war that broke out nearly two years ago, doctors and regional health officials say.
A child infected with whooping cough cries in his crib in Ethiopia on Sept. 9, 2022, as deadly childhood diseases tear through Ethiopia's Tigray region. "Vaccines are given for free across Ethiopia but they are not coming to Tigrayan children," said Fasika Amdeslasie, a surgeon at Ayder Referral Hospital, which he said has treated children for measles and whooping cough.
