Lalibela's rock-hewn churches, a World Heritage Site, are in dire straits due to a lack of tourism activity due to the Covd-19 and the war.

The monastery's administrator and pope made a statement on the current state of the Lalibela rock-cut churches.

Currently, no tourists are coming to the area, and more than 10,000 priests and their families have been affected.

The monastery's administrator, Abba Tsige Selassie, said more than 100 staff, 800 model students, and 200 elderly people, as well as orphans, were in trouble.

He called on the government and other stakeholders to support the monastery.

Archbishop Abune Ermias of the Diocese of North Wollo, South Wollo and Kemise said the rock-hewn churches of St. Lalibela are one of the most important monuments in Ethiopia.

However, he said that the current situation of the monastery should be supported by all.

He said a fundraising event will be held in Addis Ababa this weekend.

According to ENA, the people are also suffering from the lack of electricity and water supply in the area.
