The United Nations condemned the killing of three Medicins Sans Frontieres
employees in Ethiopia’s Tigray region as a breach of international law.
“This is totally unacceptable and an appalling violation of International Humanitarian Law,†UN Secretary General António Guterres said in a statement. “The perpetrators must be found and severely punished.â€
The three staffers — Maria Hernandez, MSF’s emergency coordinator; Yohannes Halefom Reda, the assistant
coordinator; and Tedros Gebremariam Gebremichael, the
organisation’s driver — were killed while working in Ethiopia’s Tigray region, the medical charity said.
“Today we are in mourning after receiving confirmation of the death of three of our colleagues who were working in Tigray,†MSF said.
