Unable to receive special medical care, Chanderra is in bed most of the time due to pain. He is one of the several casualties, whose untreated or poorly treated injuries are reminiscent of the toll of war.
“When I think of my future possibility and my ability to raise a child in such difficulty and circumstances, I feel disappointing,” he said, with a child at home.
Chandrara, a former hotel worker in the city, found that health facilities in the region were largely destroyed in the fight.
Temszen Tilahun, head of the Ethiopian National Rehabilitation Commission, reported that more than 43,000 tigraines in the Associated Press have pre -fighters.
Thousands of people were killed in the war, who raised local fighters against federal soldiers, associated with fighters from other regions, and ended in 2022. Nobody knows how many were injured.
Some pre -fighters in Tigre returned to their homes, to find out that there was no way to get medical aid for permanent disabled.
Hiluf Hale Tigre Capital, managed to obtain therapy at Mekelle, to adjust a new artificial leg in the sole center of the tigre offering such treatment. But he has seen the old shortage of support for other disabled pre-girls.
Those who had serious injuries have limited access to orthopedic therapy and should navigate damaged communities that have very little or no infrastructure to accommodate them.
They “survive by begging, naked the battle mark,” said Hale.
Another experienced Tesafay Kiros lost one leg and unable to find employment. He regularly begs a busy bus station in the capital of Mekele, Tigre.
He dreams of returning to his hometown Zalambesa to his hometown near the border with Eritrea. It remains elusive because new stress between its former ally Ethiopia and Irritria in the war increases.

The government has offered re -renewal to veterans in the armed forces.
Tigre Disaster Risk Management Commission Commissioner Gabrehot Gabreziyaber said, “Tigre has disabilities who require support, especially needed medical treatment, and the situation is extremely serious.” “We are very overwhelmed to support them without more financial assistance.”
The Mekele has been trying to fill the difference in Tigre for nearly three decades with the support of the International Committee of Red Cross, which has been operating in Tigre with the support of the International Committee of Red Cross.
The group has treated disabled fighters, providing crutches such as prosthetic organs and mobility aid. But it is unable to help all those who need support without more money.
“Over the years, we have given a total of 180,000 services. However, this number has been provided in the last three years compared to 65,000,” the manager Birhane team said.
The team urged international organizations to assist their group in Tigre to “reduce the burden”.
