A senior U.S. official Sarah Charles has returned from a trip to Ethiopia where she witnessed a harrowing humanitarian catastrophe in Tigray, the country’s northern region. As a result, humanitarian organizations are being forced to scale back or halt their programs, and hospitals and health centers have run out of medical supplies. “AtA Charles’ trip further demonstrates the United States’ long-standing commitment to helping the people of Ethiopia. The United States is the largest donor of humanitarian assistance in Ethiopia, providing approximately $663 million since the crisis began. While humanitarian aid is vital for saving lives, an end to the conflict is needed to stop the suffering of millions of people.”
