Eritrea's Lengthy Feud With Tigrayans Fueling Famine in EthiopiaThe war in northern Ethiopia that began in November 2020 has left millions in Tigray on the brink of famine. Reports suggest that nearly 40% of the region's six million inhabitants face "an extreme lack of food". A few convoys have been allowed to enter Tigray, but the United Nations says convoys of at least 115 trucks are required daily, yet the entire region is classified "hard to reach". Since the Tigrayans' army retreated into their region in December 2021, they have been surrounded by armies that have blockaded Tigray. They have been far fewer than the humanitarian assistance required daily to feed the population.
