Aid Flows into Tigray Region as Ethiopia’s Humanitarian Truce Holds
A senior UNICEF official says humanitarian aid is flowing into previously inaccessible areas in northern Ethiopia’s embattled Tigray region. He says lifesaving aid is reaching hundreds of thousands of people in need thanks to the government’s humanitarian truce with the Tigray People’s Liberation Front. This, since Ethiopian military forces invaded the region November 4, 2020, in response to attacks by the Tigray People’s Liberation Front. Rotigliano warns the distribution of lifesaving aid to millions of people in Tigray will be severely affected if fuel supplies run out. U.N. agencies estimate 100 trucks carrying food, medicine, non-food items and fuel must arrive in Tigray every day to meet the region’s humanitarian needs.

Vaccine manufacturers and regulators complete training on CTD format and requirements for vaccine dossiers to improve access
One cause for delays in timely registration and access to vaccines, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), is submitting incomplete vaccine dossiers to regulators. Manufacturers and regulators in many LMICs around the world seek training in CTD format and quality requirements for vaccines to prepare themselves for improving timely registration and access once these vaccines are produced. What participants had to say:“This is a very good initiative by the Local Production and Assistance Unit. I have participated in three marathons / workshops including the pharmaceutical manufacturing, vaccine manufacturing and the current Documentation Format Requirements and Principles of Assessment for the WHO Prequalification and Emergency Use Listing of Vaccines. All these trainings have had a great impact on my understanding of the cGMP, cGLP, cGCP and facility upkeep requirements.

Ethiopia's Other Conflict
In November 2020, global attention turned to the outbreak of conflict in Ethiopia’s northern Tigray region between Ethiopian government forces and its allies against Tigrayan forces. Yet, well before the conflict in northern Ethiopia, there has been widespread impunity for ongoing rights abuses in Ethiopia’s Oromia region, including in areas already suffering from conflict. Hachalu’s uncle was among several mourners that security forces killed in front of the Hachalu’ family home in Ambo town before the burial. In addition, the authorities have sporadically cut communications in western Oromia, including imposing a three-month shutdown in early 2020. A culture of impunity for security abuses has only emboldened unaccountable security forces and done nothing to prevent further harm.

India tightens grip on fifth test despite Bairstow’s ton
BIRMINGHAM, England, (Reuters) – India tightened their grip on the rearranged fifth test against England, with an overall lead of 257 and with seven wickets in hand, despite Jonny Bairstow’s belligerent hundred on day three of the contest at Edgbaston yesterday. Earlier, an on-field altercation with India’s Virat Kohli appeared to fire up Bairstow who played some breathtaking shots to rescue England. Stokes, on 18, came dancing down the track to Mohammed Shami and offered a skier which Shardul Thakur floored at cover. Bumrah immediately redeemed himself, however, by taking a stunning diving catch when Stokes repeated the cavalier shot to Thakur’s next delivery. Pant, whose rapid 146 put India in the box seat, was more restrained in the second innings.

Confidence drains from UK companies as economic woes mount
British companies have turned increasingly glum about the outlook, with inflation surging and investment plans looking stagnant, according to the latest business survey that shows momentum rapidly draining from the economy. A record 65% of companies said they planned to raise their prices in the next three months. Forecasters like the IMF and OECD think Britain will be hit harder by rising prices than other countries. Three quarters of firms said they had no plans to increase investment, and most no longer expected profits to rise. Nearly every single indicator has seen a deterioration since our last survey in March," BCC Director General Shevaun Haviland said.
