The Commission of Inquiry into the Crimes of Genocide in Tigray (CITG) has released a new report stating that hundreds of thousands of internally displaced people in the Tigray region face severe insecurity, humanitarian crises, and ongoing injustice.

The 110-page report found that despite the signing of the Pretoria Peace Agreement, internally displaced persons in the Tigray region continue to be victims of forced displacement, violence, and abuse.

The commission said it recorded 1,748 killings, 915 enforced disappearances, and 1,656 acts of physical violence. These figures highlight the high vulnerability of displaced people and indicate that killings are very common.

The commission's report found that vulnerable groups, including women, children, the elderly, people with disabilities, and people with chronic illnesses, are at greatest risk. The report also noted that displaced women and girls have been subjected to sexual violence and abuse in shelters.
