At least 56 people were killed in air strikes in northern Ethiopia’s Tigray region on Friday, according to aid agencies.
The strikes, which happened just before midnight, hit a school that was turned into an internally-displaced people’s center in Dedebit town, northwest Tigray, according to two aid workers who asked not to be identified because they are not authorized to comment publicly. A hospital in the town is attending to at least 30 injured people, they said.
