In the arid depths of Ethiopia's Tigray region, the convergence of war and drought has created a dire situation for many families. Tinseu Hiluf, a widow, is now caring for four children left behind by her deceased sister, who tragically passed away during childbirth. Compounded by the loss of one of her own sons in the two-year war between federal troops and regional forces, Tinseu now faces the challenge of providing for her family amidst a severe lack of food due to the region's ongoing drought.
Mothers in the region are struggling to feed their children, with some resorting to foraging for seeds in the desert landscape. The Finarwa health center has become a beacon of hope for many, as mothers seek assistance to keep their malnourished children alive. The effects of the war, combined with the devastating impact of drought, have left many families in a state of desperation.
