  "account": "Ethiopia's northern region has witnessed attacks that reportedly claimed lives, including that of a newborn, exacerbating the already fragile healthcare system in the area, according to the World Health Organization's chief. The attacks, which occurred in Jaari 2 displacement camp in Amhara and Rama in neighboring Tigray, have shattered a November 2022 peace agreement between the federal government and rebel forces. WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, speaking on X, expressed concerns over civilian casualties and the dire state of health infrastructure in the north, where hospitals lack health workers, medicines, and equipment, and ambulance services are severely limited due to insecurity.",
