Refugee doctor chronicles Tigray’s pain as he treats it
Al Jazeera
One of more than 60,000 people to have crossed into Sudan, Tewodros Tefera treats fellow refugees who fled Tigray war.
He is a surgeon and a father. Every morning, he wakes up under a plastic tarp and is reminded he is now a refugee, too. Tewodros Tefera is one of more than 60,000 people who have fled the conflict in Ethiopia’s northern Tigray region, crossing the border into a remote corner of Sudan. Horrified by what he saw when the fighting between Ethiopian and Tigray forces began six months ago, and by the tales of new arrivals, the 43-year-old chronicles the pain even as he treats it. “It’s getting worse,” Tewodros, who fills a growing number of notebooks as he compiles a “dossier” on the conflict, says of life back home.More Related News
