Some 350,000 people in Ethiopia's Tigray in famine -U.N. document

A woman displaced by ethnic violence carries an infant inside a temporary shelter at the Shire campus of Aksum University, which was turned into a temporary shelter for people displaced by conflict, in the town of Shire, Tigray region, Ethiopia on March 14, 2021.An analysis by United Nations agencies and aid groups estimates that about 350,000 people in Ethiopia's conflict-torn Tigray region are in famine conditions, according to an internal U.N. document seen by Reuters on Wednesday.

The Ethiopian government disputes the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification analysis, according to the notes of a meeting on the situation in Tigray of the Inter-Agency Standing Committee - made up of the heads of at least 18 U.N. and non-U.N. organizations. "On the risk of famine, it was noted that the unpublished IPC analysis figures were being disputed by the Ethiopian government, notably the estimated 350,000 people across Tigray believed to be in IPC 5 famine conditions," the June 7 document read.

The analysis, which diplomats said could be released publicly on Thursday, had found that millions more across Tigray required"urgent food and agriculture/livelihoods support to avert further slides towards famine". Fighting in Tigray broke out in November between government troops and the region's former ruling party, the Tigray People's Liberation Front .
