A doctor has alleged Ethiopian forces shelled his hospital in the Tigrayan town of Humera on 8 November, four days after the Ethiopian government launched a military offensive against the TPLF, the Tigray People's Liberation Front - the regional party that was in power in Tigray. He said that the whole town was targeted, with shelling continuing through the day and resuming the next morning. Injured people - men, women and children - and dead bodies were left at the hospital. Once he and other colleagues at the hospital decided conditions were no longer safe, patients were loaded onto a truck and they left the area. He is one of 50,000 refugees who have fled the fighting and is now across the border in Sudan. The Ethiopian government insists that no civilians have been targeted and no civilians were killed.
