At least ‌31 people have been killed and 33 others injured after a bus ‌plunged into a ravine in Ethiopia, police said.

The bus was travelling from Dessie to the capital, Addis Ababa, early on Monday when it veered off the road and fell down a cliff in the northern Amhara region, according to state-run Amhara Media Corporation.

The crash occurred in an area leading to Kombolcha, according to commander Getachew Muhiye, who was quoted in a statement from the regional government’s communications bureau. Among the 31 people killed was the driver, while 33 others suffered a range of serious and minor injuries, Mr Muhiye told state media. The death toll had previously been reported as 28.

Vascular surgeon Dr. Matthew Spreadbury picked up my call as he was finishing a full day of surgery alongside local Tigrayan doctors Dr. Aregawi and Dr. Haymnot. The three gave a sobering rundown of their situation: “There are 3,000 orthopedic patients waiting, 1,000 plastic surgery patients waiting, and 300 neurosurgery cases.”

The war that erupted in November 2020 between Ethiopia’s federal forces, supported by Eritrea, and the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) killed hundreds of thousands and devastated Tigray’s health system. Field assessments found that of 106 medical facilities surveyed, nearly 70 percent were looted, more than 30 percent damaged, and only 13 percent remained functional. These conditions left patients without access to surgery, antibiotics, or obstetric care, leading to countless preventable deaths.

Medical groups have documented widespread sexual violence amounting to crimes against humanity, leaving deep trauma and long-term medical needs across Tigray. Hunger persisted even after the ceasefire, with local researchers verifying at least 1,329 starvation deaths in the months that followed. The 2022 Pretoria Agreement halted large-scale fighting but failed to resolve the underlying issues.

Three prominent political parties – the All Ethiopian Unity Party (AEUP), Enat Party (EP), and Ethiopian People’s Revolutionary Party (EPRP) – released a joint statement this week condemning the initiative.
