"WFP has a target of getting emergency food aid to 2.1 million people in Tigray every six weeks and says it's on track."
Define "on track" when only 32% of the target is reached in the proposed 6 weeks. @WFP_Ethiopia is spreading disinformation. https://t.co/lqyoCuCvym
The #Ethiopian government is using starvation as a weapon of war against #Tigray, inducing a massive famine that requires immediate action from the international community, write @fk_yeb and @NatalieBurdsall in #GlobalFoodForThought.

In the remote, mountainous regions of North and Central #Tigray, women and girls are being subjected to sexual violence with a level of cruelty BEYOND COMPREHENSION.
⛔️#EndRapeInWar NOW.
"I repeat my call on the #Myanmar authorities to release all political prisoners and launch an inclusive process immediately to return to the democratic transition.
This is the only route to lasting peace and security."

If this or any other peace agreement in the Horn of Africa is to succeed in the long term, the threat Isaias Afwerki poses to peace and stability in the region must be addressed first.

UPDATE #Tigray
Massive looting carried out by Eritrean forces in Shire, Enda Aba Guna, Adi Da’ero and the surrounding rural villages. Mass killings and rape also reported. The Eritrean soldiers even brought their family members to these areas to conduct massive looting.
“@RedwanHussien’s comments were also dismissed by a humanitarian worker based in Tigray. ‘What Redwan tweeted is completely false,’ the worker told AFP. ‘No aid is allowed to enter Shire city at all … No services have been reconnected & no flights are allowed.’" Link below ⬇️
Within hours of the news of the deal last week, UN staff had begun talking to Ethiopian officials about reopening roads closed for months [and] said they were able to begin sending convoys loaded with much-needed supplies “almost immediately”. https://t.co/y0f0twweHH
#Tigray: Still no aid
Humanitarian organisations have yet to reach millions in Tigray who face famine and disease 8 days after Ethiopian authorities vowed to lift their blockade to allow free passage of food, medicine, fuel and other desperately needed aid https://t.co/6tJUo834GE
This shows the collapse of the Humanitarian Response in #Tigray in October.
After two months of a full ban on aid supplies to Tigray, food distribution is only possible in Mekelle, leaving millions starving.
