Abstract
Fistula is roaring in the ongoing war on Tigray. The potential risk factors for fistula in the conflict zone include obstructed labour due to limited or absent maternal care services, a correlation between malnutrition-stunted growth and birth difficulties and trauma, and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) due to conflict-related sexual violence. As a call to action to mitigate the unimaginable suffering that women and girls are facing in the region, concerted international effort is needed to provide treatment, rehabilitation, and re-integration; secure peace and stability; rebuild the health-care system; and ensure perpetrators are held accountable.
