Ethiopia’s government on Thursday said it had sent truckloads of wheat to Tigray, as a row over access continued to keep nearly all foreign aid agencies out of the northern region.

A convoy of 30 trucks arrived in the regional capital Mekele on Thursday, according to the state-affiliated Fana Broadcasting Corporate, and “preparations are underway to distribute the aid among residents.”

The report emphasised that the aid “is being provided only by the Ethiopian government.”
