ADDIS ABABA, Jan. 5 (Xinhua) -- More than 3.3 million people in Ethiopia's conflict-affected northernmost Tigray region have received humanitarian aid since early October, according to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). It said humanitarian supplies, mainly food, continued to be transported into Tigray via four corridors through neighboring Afar and Amhara regions. Humanitarian aid is flowing into the Tigray region following the peace agreement that was signed between the Ethiopian government and the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) in early November 2022. The deal includes restoring law and order, restoring services and unhindered access to humanitarian supplies. Amid the improving security situation, Ethiopian Airlines, Ethiopia's flag carrier, resumed its commercial passenger flights into two major cities across the region, including the regional capital of Mekele.
