    As your Columbia University Global Emergency Medicine Fellowship Director responsible for sending you with MSF to Tigray during a conflict, I was admittedly concerned about your security. The government-imposed lockdown of Tigray and the communications blackout affecting the internet, cell phones, and landlines caused me frustration as I could not check in on your safety. Your husband and I texted daily. Having also worked in Tigray as a Global EM Fellow in 2001, precisely 20 years before, I had mixed emotions. I was delighted that you might contribute in valuable ways to the Tigrayan communities; however, I was concerned for your safety. The recent ceasefire took two years too long and getting food and medication into Mekelle. As Alex De Wall has written about for decades, famine and mass starvation are used as weapons of war. https://global.oup.com/academic/product/accountability-for-mass-starvation-9780192864734?lang=en&cc=az

    I am grateful to the Tigrayan people, MSF, and your Rheumatologist that you are almost back to normal. I wish you that last 5% soon.
