MSF review into the killing of three MSF staff on 24 June 2021 in Tigray, Ethiopia

On 24 June 2021, three Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) staff, María Hernández Matas, Tedros Gebremariam Gebremichael, and Yohannes Halefom Reda, were brutally killed in central Tigray, Ethiopia. This report presents the findings of an internal review carried out by MSF to try to understand what happened to our colleagues. The review was started in the days immediately following the incident and was carried out over more
than a year. This is standard practice at MSF following a critical incident with a review aimed at understanding who conducted the attack, how, and with what motive, and to provide facts to inform MSF’s engagement with parties to the conflict about what happened that day. The internal review was also
important for the families of those who were killed, as it enabled MSF to
share its understanding of the circumstances in which their loved ones lost their lives.
