The community of Mekelle is in mourning today as news of the passing of The biggest hospital in the region’s capital of Mekelle, Dr. Abraha Gebreegziabher, has spread. Dr. Abraha was a dedicated healthcare professional who had been working tirelessly to save the lives of malnourished children in the region. His work with Mary’s Meals had brought hope to many families, but sadly, the increasing number of children dying from malnutrition has taken its toll.

Dr. Abraha’s commitment to his patients was unwavering, and his passion for helping those in need was evident to all who knew him. His loss will be deeply felt not only by his colleagues at the hospital, but also by the wider community who relied on his expertise and compassion.

The situation is dire, and urgent action is needed to prevent further loss of life. Organizations such as the United Nations, UK Aid, the European Union, Human Rights Watch, and the World Food Programme have all been working to provide assistance to those affected by the famine, but much more needs to be done.

As we grieve the loss of Dr. Abraha, let us also remember the thousands of children who are still at risk of succumbing to malnutrition in Tigray. Their lives hang in the balance, and it is up to all of us to come together and take action to ensure that no more lives are lost.

The details surrounding Dr. Abraha’s death are still unclear, and investigations are ongoing. As we wait for more information, let us honour his memory by continuing the important work that he started and by doing all that we can to support those in need.

Our thoughts are with Dr. Abraha’s family, friends, and colleagues during this difficult time. May his legacy live on through the lives that he touched and the impact that he made in the fight against malnutrition.
