The European Union is preparing to send Finnish foreign minister Pekka Haavisto to negotiate with the Ethiopian government as it pushes for unfettered access for humanitarians in the conflict-torn Tigray region.
Humanitarians sound alarm for millions of people in need of emergency assistance in Ethiopia’s conflict-hit northern region.

Hundreds of thousands of people might starve to death if international aid does not reach a vulnerable population in northern Ethiopia, aid agencies said. Military action in the Tigray region of the country has left burned crops, depleted shops, and children weakened from diarrhea, humanitarian workers have reported.

More than two months after Ethiopia declared victory in its Tigray war, there is rapidly growing international alarm at evidence of starvation and destruction in the region, including reports of emaciated refugees, gutted hospitals, massive looting, burning refugee camps, kidnappings, rapes and other war crimes.
Residents of border town Hamdiyet are hosting people fleeing the Tigray conflict
Despite the pandemic, Yasmine Amin hosts around 60 Ethiopian refugees in her home in Sudan’s border town of Hamdiyet, which she already shares with 14 family members.
“They had nowhere else to go, so we opened our homes to them,” the 21-year-old said.
Since November last year, Ethiopian federal government troops have been fighting the regional government of Tigray, in the east of the country
Starvation is threatening the survivors of more than two months of fighting in Ethiopia’s Tigray region.
Authorities say more than 4.5 million people there need emergency food.
NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) – New satellite images of a refugee camp in Ethiopia´s embattled Tigray region show more than 400 structures have been badly damaged in what a research group believes is the latest “intentional attack” by fighters.
The report by the U.K.-based DX Open Network nonprofit, shared with The Associated Press, says “it is likely that the fire events of 16 January are yet another episode in a series of military incursions on the camp as reported by (the United Nations refugee agency).”
The Shimelba camp is one of four that hosted 96,000 refugees from nearby Eritrea when fighting erupted in early November between Ethiopian forces and those of the defiant Tigray region. The fighting has swept through the camps and two of them, including Shimelba, remain inaccessible to aid workers. Many refugees have fled.
Skirmishes have increased in the past two months over the fertile al-Fashaga region.
Ethiopia and Sudan are warning each other against worsening an historic border dispute.
