Humanitarian situation in Ethiopia’s Tigray remains extremely dire: UN
UNITED NATIONS, March 31 (Xinhua) — The humanitarian situation in Ethiopia’s conflict-stricken Tigray state remains extremely dire, said a UN spokesman on Wednesday.
Access in parts of southern and southeastern Tigray has been curtailed for a month and the road from Alamata to Mekelle, the regional capital, remains closed, blocking humanitarian response in the area, said Stephane Dujarric, spokesman for UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.
An estimated 2.5 million people in rural areas have not had access to essential services for the last four months, he said.
