UN suspended the aid delivery to Tigray

 

The UN says efforts to deliver humanitarian aid in the embattled northern Ethiopian region of Tigray have been suspended after fresh fighting breake out last week.

The new violence - currently going in neighbouring Amhara region - is worsening the crisis amid calls for de-escalation.

The UN says that aid delivery by road transport into Tigray has not been do since mid last weeks.

Flights transporting aid workers have also been suspended and operational cash is not being delivered.

However, aid that had already been delivered is being distributed.

Meanwhile, a team of international human rights experts set up by the UN to probe allegations of abuses in Ethiopia has said it’s "outraged" about the renewed hostilities.

The team has added its voice to other international groups calling for the violence to stop.
