Food aid convoys enter Tigray for first time since ceasefire

Doctors and aid workers describe race against time to keep patients alive in northern Ethiopian region

Convoys carrying desperately needed food aid entered Tigray on Wednesday, as humanitarian groups gained access to the war-torn northern Ethiopian region for the first time since a ceasefire agreement was signed two-week ago.

Doctors and aid workers in Tigray have described a race against time to keep sick or malnourished patients alive as they wait for humanitarian assistance.
