Ethiopia's civil war has left a humanitarian crisis in its wake. The fighting between government forces and the Tigray People's Liberation Front - who have aligned with other rebel groups - has left thousands dead and over 350,000 facing famine. The UN has accused all sides of war crimes and atrocities. Over the last three months, the crisis has worsened as the rebels threaten to take the capital, Addis Ababa. Catherine Byaruhanga reports on the human price of the conflict through the eyes of the civilians caught up in it.
