Warning over fuel and food stocks as ‘hellish’ Tigray reels from airstrikes

Stocks run perilously low, with main supply route into region of northern Ethiopia unusable since December

Humanitarian organisations in the Tigray region of northern Ethiopia are running perilously low on food and fuel stocks as an intensified wave of airstrikes further hampers a threadbare aid effort already stymied by lack of access.

In what it calls a de facto blockade, the UN says fighting between Tigrayan rebels and forces loyal to the Ethiopian government has rendered the main supply route into the war-torn region unusable since mid-December.
