Tigray lost 80% of its livestock due to the genocidal war; pre-genocide Tigray had 10% of the country’s livestock population

Pre-war Tigray had over 18 million livestock (+4.9m cattle, +2.1m sheep, +4.8m goats, +6.3m poultry & +332,391 honey bee colonies), i.e. ten percent of the livestock population in Ethiopia.

Now, more than 80% of the livestock has been lost due to the #TigrayGenocide campaign. pic.twitter.com/IVtXgIiRbE
