Humanitarian organisations have yet to reach millions in Tigray who face famine and disease, eight days after Ethiopian authorities vowed to lift their blockade to allow the free passage of food, medicine, fuel and other desperately needed aid.
The World Health Organization has called for a massive influx of food and medicines to the war-torn northern region, saying aid had not yet been allowed despite humanitarian access being a key element of the peace deal signed between the Ethiopian government and the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) eight days ago.
