Mekelle, Tigray – A comprehensive platform aimed at disaster prevention and the recovery of foundational institutions in Tigray has been launched in the regional capital.
The initiative, titled the “Tigray Foundational Institutions Disaster Prevention and Recovery Platform,” was inaugurated by General Tadesse Werede, President of the Tigray Interim Administration, and General Gebre Adhana, Commissioner of the Tigray Police Commission.
