Statement by Secretary General Jan Egeland: Aid still not reaching Tigray
Twelve weeks since the fighting began, the basic elements of a response on the scale needed are still not in place
OSLO, Norway, February 1, 2021/APO Group/ –Twelve weeks since the start of conflict in Ethiopia’s Tigray region, meaningful humanitarian operations have still not begun. Aid organisations are unable to reach the Central and Western parts of the region, and two refugee camps are completely inaccessible. In the few instances where agencies are accessing the region, it is limited to areas along major roads or the capital Mekelle. Aid workers face an unpredictable approval process with blurred lines of authorizations, as well as unclear and shifting approval procedures
