Ethiopian Red Cross warns 80 percent of Ethiopia’s conflict-hit Tigray region has been cut off from humanitarian assistance. Eighty percent of Ethiopia’s conflict-hit Tigray region has been cut off from humanitarian assistance and tens of thousands could starve to death, the Ethiopian Red Cross has warned. “The number today could be one, two or three, but you know, after a month it means thousands.

Once humanitarian workers are able to reach Tigray’s rural areas, “there we will see a more devastating crisis”, Abera said.
