Massacre

The Ethiopian National Defense Force (ENDF) killed dozens of civilians during the assault on Mekelle on 28 November 2020.[1] Tigray regional president Debretsion claimed that they were bombarding the city with artillery.[2] Ambulances rushed through the streets picking up dead and wounded after Ethiopian government artillery strikes.[3] Doctors in Mekelle sent text messages on the condition of anonymity to avoid reprisals from the government by using a rare internet connection in the city. They stated that indiscriminate artillery shelling targeted not only military areas, but also civilian neighborhoods, ended up killing 27 civilians (including a 4 year old child) and wounded around 100. The hospital staff provided pictures of their patients (including infants) having many shrapnel wounds.[3]

The "Tigray: Atlas of the humanitarian situation" mentions 28 victims,[1] of which one has been formally identified.[4]

Reactions

The Ethiopian government denied bombarding the city with artillery.[2]
