Tigrayan rebels claim that 56 people have been killed in a drone strike on a camp for people displaced by the war in northern Ethiopia
Reports of the airstrike at the Dedebit camp in northwestern Tigray came a day after Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed issued a message of reconciliation for Christmas after 14 months of war.
Dozens of people have been killed in a drone strike on a camp for people displaced by the war in northern Ethiopia, Tigrayan rebels have said. Getachew Reda, spokesperson for the Tigray People's Liberation Front , said on Twitter on Saturday that an attack on the camp in the small town of Dedebit in northwestern Tigray "has claimed the lives of 56 innocent civilians so far".
The report could not be independently verified and there was no immediate response to requests for comment from Ethiopian government officials. However, a senior official at the main hospital in Tigray's capital Mekele told AFP that the hospital in the town of Shire where the victims were taken had reported 55 people dead and 126 injured.
