A driver of a lorry carrying humanitarian aid has been injured after being hit by debris from a drone strike in Ethiopia’s Tigray region
The incident happened on Sunday, according to a spokesman of the World Food Programme.
“Flying debris from the strike injured a driver contracted by WFP and caused minor damage to a WFP fleet truck,” the spokesperson is quoted to have told the Reuters news agency.
The lorry was delivering food to internally displaced people in Tigray, Reuters reports.
A spokesman for the rebel TPLF Getachew Reda termed the incident “an outrageous crime.”
