. The conflict has killed thousands of people, but the toll could climb much higher because of an unofficial government blockade of aid supplies. An estimated two million people have been driven from their homes and seven million people are in need of emergency aid.The latest fighting is likely to jeopardize the already inadequate flow of aid into northern Ethiopia.
The World Health Organization warned on Wednesday that millions of lives are now at stake in northern Ethiopia because the war has devastated the health system and the blockade has prevented any supplies of medicine from reaching Tigray for the past three months. A rising number of starvation deaths have been reported in Tigray in recent weeks. The United Nations has estimated that it needs to send about 100 trucks of aid into Tigray per day to meet the region’s basic needs. But since July, only about 10 per cent of this amount has reached the region because of “official and unofficial checkpoints and roadblocks, insecurity and other obstacles,” Dr. Tedros said.
“The conflict has taken a sharp turn for the worse,” said David Del Conte, a Refugees International campaigner who was deputy director of the UN’s humanitarian affairs office in Ethiopia from 2012 to 2016. On Tuesday, the United States convened an urgent meeting of senior representatives from more than a dozen donor countries, including Canada, to discuss the crisis in northern Ethiopia.
the story relates the offensive to humanitarian disaster in Tigray. If any disaster it is one caused by TPLF army in its operation in the neighboring states the last 4 months which the Globe never accounted. it is regrettable that there is no EthG side to the story.
This story did not tell us that the current war is in the Amhara and Afar regions of Ethiopia which are currently occupied by TPLF with so much brutality to civilians. It has so many factual errors that include Eritrean army involvement which is false.
Another genocide and nobody is doing anything about it. The world promised that after the holocaust, there is not going to be another one, BS!
Nobel Peace Prizes just don't mean what they used to mean now do they?
