Ethiopia’s Tigray and neighbouring regions are still facing a humanitarian crisis, made worse by a continuing blockade and sporadic violence.

A situational update by the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (Unocha) this week said only a small percentage of people in need have been reached as most access roads to Tigray remain blocked.
