Description
Two years after a peace deal ended the devastating conflict with Tigrayan rebels that left hundreds of thousands of people dead — many who were injured like Aregawi Mezgbe, are still rebuilding their lives. The former mechanic who lost his right leg and now wears a prosthetic one, grimaces in pain as he finishes his exercises at the Mekele Ortho-Physiotherapy Center, the only rehabilitation centre in the capital of Ethiopia's war-ravaged Tigray region. "I would say the service (I’ve received) since I entered into medical treatment is very good," he says. The facility is in fact the sole in the entire country of around 120 million, that offers free care to not just war victims but also those who’ve lost limbs due to diseases like cancer.
