"The current HIV situation is evident. There has been a significant rise in prevalence compared to the conditions before the war, with the average monthly positivity rate increasing considerably. Additionally, the risk of mother-to-child transmission, which had previously been declined to zero, has changed dramatically. We are now seeing children under the age of two who are born HIV-positive, a direct result of interrupted access to crucial medications during the conflict.”

And if we look at medical equipment, 72% of the health facilities had partial damage or looting of their medical equipment, and 27% had complete damage. So we can talk about ambulances, we had more than 310 ambulances in Tigray. That number went down to 82."
