Ethiopian airstrikes forced a U.N. humanitarian flight to abandon its landing in the capital of the country’s Tigray region, two aid workers said. If deliberate, the action would be an escalation of Ethiopia's intimidation tactics against aid workers.

If deliberate, the action would be a sharp escalation in the intimidation tactics that Ethiopian authorities have used against aid workers amid an intensifying, year-long war in Tigray.

Ethiopia’s government in recent months has accused some humanitarian groups of supporting the Tigray forces, and last month it expelled seven U.N. officials while accusing them without evidence of falsely inflating the scale of the Tigray crisis. Authorities also have subjected humanitarian workers on U.N. flights to intrusive searches while imposing what the U.N. has called a “de facto humanitarian blockade” on the region of some 6 million people.

Spokesmen for the Tigray forces have denied that sites targeted earlier this week were used in relation to the fighting. Health workers and other residents have said at least three children have been killed and more than a dozen people injured.

Good New for Ethiopians who love peace. We all knew the target was military equipment. If a fighter just targeted civilians not only kill less than five persons. Be logical please.

As always, FAKE!

Fake news

You sound like TPLF spokesperson!

The time and the destination is so far apart. Be logical !

Ethiopia has the right in its airspace to do whatever it wants is that organization that supports terrorism. Clarification to us, did you take approval from the Ethiopian government to go to Tigray region?

Hmm! UN is obsessed in bringing TPLF back to power?

Humanitarian crisis of TPLF who is buying weapons by starvingTigray childrenTPLF weapons are pumping out water and bread to kill people with love,put in addition of your reports. Humanitarian crisis of terrorists.😜 You mean confirmed rape with DNA? where there is no DNA tests😜

Humanitarian crisis of TPLF who is buying weapons by starving Tigray children . TPLF weapons are pumping out water and bread to kill people with love, put in addition of your reports. Humanitarian crisis of terrorists.😜

What can we expect from UN, another 'concern,socked.'

Not even going to click on your propaganda CaraAnna but you know what? There's such thing called a safety measure. A non-combatant airplane could be targeted by ground artillery in such an environment. It is probably the right & safest move by the pilots to turn around.

First un must ask TPLFTerrorists to return 400-600 humanitarian Trucks Tplf use Them for Pillaging Amhara &Afar

Yitbarek22 It is a war zone, stay out or risk downing, UN is a party to this conflict anyway

TigraiHub UN antonioguterres complicit in the ongoing TigrayGenocide

voice of TPLF

OmnaTigray The reason Abiy started bombing the none battle zone is, he knew the aid delivery flights to Tigray is coming. He wants all Tigrayans to die by starving.

Now I know why Israel has demolished office. Fake news merchants!!!

CTinsae Ethiopia 🇪🇹 is a sovereign nation,aid is at the will of Ethiopian government. Wtf are you to question the sovereign nation. Ethiopia prevails,enemies will perish.

Stop weaponizing aid to justify you meddling and intervention in sovereign countries' affairs. Just coordinate your arrival time with the Ethiopian airlines and the airforce. You're not going to twist the Ethiopian government's hands into stopping airstrikes against terrorists.

Yes, let UN stop there totally there is no famine in Tigray. Instead UN should deliver humanitarian aid to the displaced 2.5M people in Amhara and Afar regions.

NetserTS Why does the Ethiopian gov't want to strike Mekelle at the same time when the UN humanitarian plane is flying to Tigray? the answer is simple. ✔️To disrupt aid delivery into Tigray ✔️To blame TDF in case the UN humanitarian plane is shot down.MekelleUnderAttack TigrayGenocide

It can’t be more obvious than that. Ethiopian government confirmed that authorities were aware of the UN inbound flight.

Poor Tigray. Saw them protesting in Denver past summer.

The terrorist media does not write false propaganda like you do you are the best lier. You are shouting louder than the terroristTPLF. When the TPLF is beaten, your media will cry until the money terroristtplf paid is gone.

There is 'if'. It's a big yes, delibrate.

Not allowed in 🇪🇹 soil to play western dirty game.. Ethiopians are smart & aware of on the ongoing conspiracy.

MelatGebre2021 'If '? How is that even a question? Who gave 'em clearance ...The Ethiopian Genocidal Regime ! Who's using them as a cover to bomb Mekelle, Tigray ....The Ethiopian Genocidal regime Who's bombing populated urban areas ... The Ethiopian regime!!! Ask the right questions!

If this is so, maybe they bring more than aid to the country. Every leader has a right to protect their people.

So an air strike can be undeliberate? Planes flew my themselves?

Esta bien

There is no Aid worker in Ethiopia!!! all them a supporter and a provider of Truck, food, fuel and weapons to the terrorist organisation Tplf...and you are paid actors not journalists.

that's raw as hell

Guess who wrote ☝️ this piece? The familiar Anna Cara! The woman who hates Ethiopia so much, she has written hundreds of such ☝️ pieces to vilify its people
