Ethiopia: Red Cross sends medicines, relief supplies to Mekelle to fortify paralyzed health care facilities Format Addis Ababa / Geneva (ICRC) – A convoy carrying medicines and relief supplies from the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and the Ethiopian Red Cross Society (ERCS), organized in coordination with the Ethiopian authorities, has reached the Tigray State capital, Mekelle. Health care facilities there have become paralyzed after supplies of drugs and basics like surgical gloves ran out. It is the first international aid to arrive in Mekelle since fighting erupted in Tigray more than one month ago. “Behind me are trucks loaded with medical assistance and other required aid for our teams on the ground to be distributed to local hospitals and primary health care centres,” said Patrick Youssef, International Committee of the Red Cross’ (ICRC) regional director for Africa from Addis Ababa the day before the trucks left for Mekelle.
