Addis Ababa: While aid is reaching into most of Ethiopia’s Tigray region since fighting ended, it’s in some adjacent regions where needs are extremely high, a UN spokesman said on Friday. Dujarric said that following the cessation of hostilities agreement in early November, the UN Humanitarian Air Service and Ethiopian Airlines are regularly flying into Tigray. Food has been distributed to more than 3 million people, reports Xinhua news agency. “However, some areas remain hard to reach, including some border areas in the north and areas off the main roads,” he said. He pointed out that communities in the eastern and southern parts of Ethiopia continue to suffer from the devastating drought impacting the Horn of Africa.
