UN humanitarian workers, who had been trapped in Ethiopia's Tigray region due to the ongoing conflict, have safely exited the region, a top UN official said, Anadolu News Agency reports. "So relieved that humanitarian colleagues were able to rotate safely out of #Tigray, #Ethiopia, today after several weeks of suspension," UN Humanitarian Chief, Martin Griffiths, wrote on Twitter late Tuesday. According to reports, the Tigray region has been cut off from the outside world, with no communication, electricity or financial services. Griffiths appealed to the Ethiopian government and the TPLF rebels to resume negotiations, saying: "Dialogue is the only way to end this deadly conflict." Griffiths also appealed that the parties allow the resumption of "rapid and unimpeded" passage of humanitarian supplies to the region.
