The World Health Organization, WHO says that despite repeated requests to the Ethiopian government, it still has no access to Tigray – where 14 months of war have created a humanitarian crisis.

A WHO senior official said “he’d received letters from doctors in the northern region who had run out of basic treatments for illnesses such as diabetes.

”
The head of the organisation, Tedros Ghebreyesus – who is from Tigray – said the region’s population of seven million had been under siege for more than a year.

He said this had created a “hell” in the region and was an “insult to our humanity to allow a situation like this to continue.

”
“Nowhere in the world are we witnessing hell like in Tigray,” he said.
