‘Tiny percentage’ get aid as Tigray access still blocked – WHO

A month after a cease-fire was reached, the World Health Organization claims it can only assist a “tiny percentage” of individuals in need in the Ethiopian area of Tigray.

It claimed that it lacked unrestricted access to provide medical aid.

The federal administration is meeting with Tigrayan fighters to discuss disarmament as they begin to leave the front lines.

Aid workers say Eritrean troops and Ethiopian regional militias are continuing to kill and abuse civilians in Tigray.

The region was almost completely cut off from the rest of the world during the two-year war.
