Similarly, unstable employment and poverty can lead to inadequate family care. Some nursing homes offer specialized care centres; they have staff members who look after resident patients with a particular medical condition. While all nursing homes provide housing and personal care, certain speciality nursing homes also offer additional services for residents with more complex requirements.

Atrocities that amount to war crimes and crimes against humanity include intentional starvation, widespread extrajudicial killings, sexual slavery, rape, torture and mass arbitrary detentions. The joint investigation, while rightly establishing the commission of war crimes by all parties, was an inadequate exercise that did not meet international standards. Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) fighters also committed war crimes. During a recent Q&A session on social media, the army’s General Bacha Debele presented peace and accountability as mutually exclusive. Tigrayans continue to be subjected to human rights violations while conflict simmers in Amhara and Oromia, with the potential to engulf the country in violence.
