The conflict in Tigray between the Ethiopian government and the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) has been ongoing since November 2020 and has resulted in a humanitarian crisis. The conflict has displaced hundreds of thousands of people, and many are facing food insecurity.
The recent pause in food aid from the US and UN is likely to exacerbate the situation. According to reports, the pause was due to security concerns and difficulties in accessing the region. However, this has left many vulnerable people without the vital food assistance they depend on.
