UN calls for humanitarian access to Tigray

Focus on Africa

Available for over a year

Concerns are mounting for civilians living in Ethiopia's Tigray region as the conflict continues. Thousands have fled, but those unable to flee remain in danger. Nearly a million people in Tigray were in need of humanitarian assistance before the outbreak of violence, and now humanitarian agencies are struggling to maintain access to the region. The Âé¶¹Éç’s Esau Williams has been speaking to the United Nations's Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator, Mark Lowcock, who says that many humanitarian workers have had to be pulled out of the conflict zone.
