    Yeah, it’s a mix of factors which lead to this neglect. The Ukraine war is obviously extremely important, it’s just a pity it sucks all the oxygen from the room when it comes to humanitarian responses.

    I think Tigray got a lot more coverage from a) organizations interested in preventing genocide,

    And b) organizations in countries with geopolitical strategic interests in the GERD issues.
