The United Nations humanitarian agency in Ethiopia said Thursday it has been getting increasing amounts of aid to the embattled northern Tigray and Afar regions. But in its latest report, the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said malnutrition rates are critical and alarmingly high. Despite a November peace deal between Ethiopia’s federal and Tigrayan authorities, the U.N. said access to provide aid remains difficult in some areas. While fighting has calmed in Tigray, clashes are being reported in Ethiopia’s southern Oromia region. The U.N. report said aid access to Oromia region was difficult, with ongoing conflict displacing more people.
